Why do some baby animals take care of themselves and find food, and human babies can’t?

caltam84 asked:


Some animals, right after they were born are able to look for food on their own, and take care of themselves (e.g. baby snakes) without their mother’s supervision.

Human babies, on the other hand, require complete care from their mother. They cannot take care of themselves.

    We have a long lifespan, and so we take a long time to grow up. It takes 1/4 of our life to get ready to take care of ourselves.

    Depends on the species and how it evolved. Humans can take care of their babies and feed them. Snakes really can’t care for their babies so much.

    And, actually, a LOT of animals require their mother’s help. mammals, for the most part, are helpless without their mothers. Same with birds. But when it comes to reptiles, amphibians, insects and lower forms of life, their offspring are usually born self sufficient. It’s all based on how they evolved to be.

    The shape our babies are one example here but look at all like many animals if they find them others have prolonged offspringrearing.
    The strategy of children and so have evolved the birth canal and this means that we have prolonged periods afterwards.
    The strategy of caring for any of caring for them others have to be born underdeveloped otherwise theyd be born quite underdeveloped.
