When born, a giraffe calf falls 6 feet to the ground. Which makes sense because, ya know, giraffes are tall and all. This breaks the umbilical cord and gives them the stick and incentive to take a breath.
Puppies can be born as identical twins.
Flamingo chicks are born gray, just like the ugly duckling. In fact, what gives them their pink shade are all the algae and brine shrimp they eat.
Dolphin calves can drink milk underwater.
Baby langurs are often a different color from their parents.
Rhinoceros calves don’t have a horn at birth.
Baby turtles can communicate from within the egg.
Baby orangutans take 8 years to wean from their moms.
Panda bear cubs are born the size of a stick of butter.
Reptile hatchlings have an egg tooth to break the shell. Once they are born the egg tooth, aka the protuberance at the end of their snouts, is reabsorbed into their bodies.
Macaque infants play with anything and everything. They even have snowball fights!
Otter pups are so fluffy they can’t drown.
Baby rabbits are also called kittens (and so are baby beavers).
A pygmy marmoset infant babbles just like a human baby.
Parrot chicks have their very own name for life. Parrot parents name their babies with different call signs and it sticks.
Blue whale calves gain about 10 pounds per hour.
