    Life Cycle of a Tiger

    • Tigers have different stages of life, from newborn cubs to adult tigers.
    • Newborn cubs are small and helpless, and their mothers teach them how to hunt for food.

    • There are 14 species of crocodiles, and they care for their babies before and after birth.
    • Young crocodiles live under the safeguard of their mother for nearly two years, learning to hunt and care for themselves.
    • As they grow older, they continue to grow about one foot every year, develop up to 60 sharp teeth, and seek out mates to make more of their own species.

    Life Cycle of a Monkey

    • The life cycle of a monkey begins in its mother's womb, where it develops its body parts during the gestation period.
    • The monkey then goes through the stages of babyhood, where it learns through observation and socialization with its mother.

    • The life cycle of a monkey can last anywhere from 10 to 50 years, depending on the type of monkey.

    • A hen's lifespan can vary depending on where it lives, ranging from 2 to 25 years or more.

    Life Cycle of a Cheetah

    • Cheetah cubs are born with spots, but they are close together, making their fur a darker, ash gray color.
