 After the marsupial is fully grown it will leave the mothers pouch but continue to go back to the pouch for a resting place or milk. the baby will continue to go in and out of his/her mothers pouch until about 18 months then will leave to fend for itself. life expectancy is estimated to be about 20 years.
