Animal Life Cycle

Animals have various life cycles
Some animals lay eggs, (like birds, insects, amphibians, reptiles) while mammals give birth to live young
Each stage is described
Panda life cycle includes growing inside the mother's body, taking 4 months
Chicks break out of the eggs, are tiny, not blind, have few feathers, and walk.
Insects do not resemble their parents; they undergo changes through larva, pupa, and adult stages

Adaptations

Adaptations are body parts or behaviors that help animals survive in their environment
Examples of adaptations
- Giraffes have long necks for reaching leaves
- Tarsiers have big eyes for night vision and long fingers for digging
- Anteaters have a long snout and tongue for finding insects
- Ptarmigans change colors for camouflage
- Snow leopards are camouflaged in rocks
- Turtles have a shell for protection
- Skunks spray a bad-smelling liquid to deter predators
- Animals migrating to warmer climates during winter
- Animals hibernating to conserve energy during cold seasons
