In addition to the lambs, the neighbors also fed animals such as rabbits and cows, which is a new world for the son who does not have much contact with animals. The newborn lamb twisted and twisted a few steps, felt a gust of wind can blow down, walking and walking is stable, the mother of the sheep has been licking it since the birth of the lamb, the son asked me: Why does the mother of the sheep keep licking the lamb? This question can make me difficult, hurry Baidu answer, the original lamb was just born, there is a layer of fetal membrane on the body, the mother of the sheep to help the lamb lick off, otherwise the lamb is easy to suffocate.

Animals have their own language and behavior, and while they don't do the same as humans, they have their own set of courtship tricks during the breeding season. Pygmy marmosets use their calls to convey information, and their bodies emit a smell.
We humans will take into account each other's temperament when looking for the other half, and elephants are just the opposite of humans, they will like grumpy male elephants, and elephants in the emotional period will be very attractive in the eyes of female elephants, and they can attract the attention of female elephants.

When you get the book "Baby Factory", you may be laughed at by the improper style of painting in the cover and content, and his rigorous content contrasts strongly with the tone of the picture. The book uses the art of collage to combine the shape of animal cartoons with realistic animal illustrations, showing the image details of animals without losing the interest of art.
The animals in the picture adopt an anthropomorphic style, combining animals and people, close to the child's life, narrowing the distance between the child and the book, making science popular science interesting, and guiding children to read with interest.

In addition to the popularization of animal parenting, "fun trivia" has been added as an extension when talking about each animal. Why do some people call spiders "Black Widows"? Why do bird eggs come in so many colors? It turns out that someone really thought about combining tigers and lions, so what is the baby that is born? These interesting trivia are also the highlights that attract children to read.
It turns out that the female spider is much larger than the male spider, and the hungry female spider after each mating may eat the male spider, so there is the name of this black widow, and the intelligent male spider will only get close to ensure that the female spider is full.
Nature's genes for animals are also magical, and there is a gene in the male lion that can ensure that the offspring of the lion always maintain a huge body shape, while the female lion has an opposite gene that restricts the lion from growing too large, and the combination of the two phases finds a balance. The combination of a tiger and a lion must be very large or very small.
Read "Baby Factory" to let children understand the biological knowledge of animals and give children scientific biological enlightenment.
