Tigers, elephants, cats and cows are different species of animals. Species are similar types of living things that can breed among themselves.
Animals reproduce to make sure their species continue to exist. However, being able to reproduce is not enough. Animals have to take care of their eggs and young.
There are examples of animals that take care of their eggs.
These are examples of animals that take care of their young.
Let us look at how some animals take care of their eggs and young.
Frogs lay slimy eggs. The slimy covering will then be eaten by the tadpoles when the eggs hatch.
Cockrooaches lay their eggs and hide them in darl places such as in the cupboard.
Birds feed their young until the young can fly out of the nest to find their own food.
Elephants stay in their herds. How does their behaviour protect their cubs?
Kangaroos carry their joeys in their pouches since birth. They nurse their joeys with milk. Joeys will be safe and warm in the pouch until they are too big to fit into the pouch.
A tiger mother will take care of her cubs until they are six to eight weeks old. Attacking the enemies is a way the mother tries to protect its cubs.
Animals take care of their eggs and young from being eaten or destroyed by their animals. This will ensure the survival of their species.
