It's interesting to see the Marine Tamow get more descendants. I like this one.
I recommend cleaning up both images using contrast enhancement on GIMP. You could at least use the paint bucket over the background in the first image to paint it all blue, suggesting it's swimming underneath a Marine Tamow dwelling.
"are even known" That's an odd phrasing to use, given you have absolute knowledge of the species.
Are the babies good at holding their breath or going dormant when the mother is swimming? Short of some way to oxygenate the pouch, or a swimming style that exposes them to air, I figure the babies would need to be good at holding their breath.
It seems to have a very big claw on its forelimbs. Is that correct?

I still do not use GIMP, also having it underwater would obscure the colors.

Alright, how should it be written?

I imagine the babies likely have adapted to survive in low-oxygen conditions by going into a semi-dormant state.

Yes that is correct, it is used as a defense against predators and to climb onto the islands.

Mind adding that?

I can do that

still would like to how how I should write a replacement for "are even known" though.

As a suggestion, something like:

"woody vegetation though they eat soft plants as well and will supplement their diet with carrion to get extra protein."
