Koala Joey keeps his Head Inside its Mother's Pouch for 6 Months

A newborn Koala Joey always keeps its head inside its mother's pouch for about 6 months. During this period of time, it never sees the external environment at all. During this period of time it totally relies on her mother's milk. After about 6 months, it becomes powerful enough to come outside. This also becomes the first time, when it sees its mother and also the beautiful nature in which Koalas live as solitary animals. So it does mean that it doesn't even sees its mother, for the first 6 months of its life, and just recognizes its very adorable presence which the koala joey experiences inside the pouch of its mother.

Therefore, the young Koala Joeys keep their head and whole body inside its mother's pouch and only concentrate on grabbing as much milk and energy as possible.
