Animals with difficult pregnancies

in #krsuccess2 years ago

Kiwi Bird (Apteryx)
This bird has a very difficult time giving birth to its young. These birds usually lay a giant egg that is 20% of their body weight and half their size.
Kiwis invest a lot of energy in creating their eggs. The average pre-gestation period is 70-80 days, more than double the average for a bird. It is equivalent to a human woman carrying a child three times the normal weight and size of a normal baby.

Shingleback Lizard (Tiliqua rugosa)
If you thought kiwis were bad, wait until you learn about the shingleback lizard. These reptiles usually give birth to two young at a time. It's not so bad, you understand that babies make up a third of the mothers weight. In case you're wondering, that's equivalent to a man giving birth to a seven-year-old child
Porcupine (Erethizon dorsatum)
The sharp spikes on its back protect it from predators and do surprisingly well. In fact, porcupines have been known to kill big cats with their tusks. Unfortunately the mother's cubs are born completely weak and usually, this is not a problem. Porcupine (Porcupine) quilts labor begins gently and slowly hardens over an hour or so. However, if the baby is facing the wrong direction when the mother gives birth, you can only imagine the scene. The lice scrape through the birth canal and cause various complications for the mother.
Spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta)
Female hyenas are considered odd in the animal kingdom because they have "false penises." A pseudopenis is basically an empty penis that prevents forced intercourse. Unfortunately, the woman also gives birth through it. It sometimes tears in the process. This is not only very painful, but can also be fatal. In fact, about 15% of first-time mothers die during childbirth.

Velvet spider (especially stegodyphus lineatus)
This mom takes feeding her babies to a whole new level. After the egg sac hatches, her flesh begins to decompose. After hatching, she regurgitates her liquid insides to feed her young. After 9 days, the babies suck up the rest of their mother's fluids and go out on their own, leaving nothing but an empty shell.
Now birth is not always difficult for the mother. Sometimes it is difficult for young people.
Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii)
The mother gives birth to 50 raisin-sized joey chicks at a time. They have to crawl through the mothers birth canal, over her body and into her pouch. It doesn't end there; However, the mother has only four nipples. So from birth, these raisin-sized babies are in a race for their lives, and only the strongest four succeed.
