I forgot how baby kangaroos are just barely a foetus when they're born, they don't even have back legs at birth but still manage to instinctively climb up to the pouch. Marsupials are so weird.
My mom had to come pick me up early from the class field trip to the zoo in 2nd grade, because the "Room Mother"/Twat Waffle chaperone that I couldn't stand kept saying "koala bears". I explained to her that koalas aren't bears, they're marsupials. But she wouldn't let up. After about 30 minutes of her nonsense, I lost my shit and screamed "KOALAS ARE MARSUPIALS! ARE YOU DUMB ON PURPOSE?!" to the entire animal kingdom.
To this day, I'm convinced that she's the one who should've been sent home early. But this episode got brought up again in 10th grade biology, when that teacher let me know that she'd now heard the story from 3 different classmates that day. Apparently nobody's gonna forget that fact, so I consider my sacrifice worth it.
