That is all. You're all welcome.

How can something so grossly oversimplified be so true?
One is expected to be protected and nurtured after it’s born, the other is expected to enter the Thunderdome days later.
At birth*. Deer will drop a Bambi at full sprint to distract a predator.
Newborn giraffes fall from the uturus 2 meters high.
Type 2 is a problem with the receptor, you monsters.
This also happens with birds. I believe there are even biological names for those groups.
Comparing newborn chicks vs. baby ravens is hilarious for this reason
Deer confirmed as reptilian invaders from space, noted.
Reading about monotremes is always a fun rabbit-hole
It's even worse with birds. You have chicks, ducklings, -aand everything else.
Are we? Baby humans are cute af.
Both baby animals in the pic are also adorable
Cuteness is in the eye of the beholder...
That is not the aspect that differentiates the types.
