Study Notes
Hens
- Hens are called pullets until they can lay their own eggs.
- Hens lay eggs less than 24 hours after breeding with roosters.
- They sit on eggs to help the embryo develop, and can live anywhere from 2 to 25 years or more, depending on their environment.
- When hens hatch from eggs, they are covered in down, a soft material, for a few weeks until their feathers fully grow.
Cheetahs
- Cheetah cubs are small and helpless when born, with a silvery strip of fur called a mantle that helps them camouflage in the grass.
- They learn to hunt through playing with each other and practicing killing wounded animals.
- Cheetahs are the fastest land mammals on Earth, reaching speeds of 60 miles per hour in just three seconds and running 20 to 25 feet in one stride.
- However, they only have this burst of speed for about 30 seconds, then they completely tire out.
Life Cycles
- All life cycles have a beginning and an end, with three stages: before birth, young adult, and adulthood.
- Every species has a life cycle, with the hatching eggs of a crocodile marking the beginning of a new generation.
- The life cycle of a monkey begins in its mother's womb, during the gestation period, and goes through two more stages: babyhood and adulthood.
- The life cycle of a monkey can last from as few as ten to as many as fifty years, depending on the type of monkey.
