Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

All over the world, in all kinds of habitats, mothers bring forth new life. For many animals, such as reptiles and amphibians, mothering responsibilities end before the babies are even born. But mammal babies need their mothers--they need to be nurtured and nourished long enough to learn how to survive on their own. All mammal mothers feed, protect, and teach their young, even though these tasks can challenge their own needs for survival. But a mammal baby's journey to maturity varies dramatically depending on whether it is a bear or a bat, a shrew or a seal, a hippopotamus or a human. This fascinating look at life cycles portrays the normalcy of birth and breastfeeding and explores how mothers help 14 different mammals navigate the path from helpless infants to self-sufficient adults. En todo el mundo, en todos los tipos de h bitats, las madres crean vidas nuevas. Para muchos animales, como los reptiles y anfibios, las responsabilidades de las madres terminan antes de que los beb s nazcan. Pero los beb s mam feros necesitan a sus madres -- ellos necesitan que ellas los cr en y alimenten antes de que puedan aprender a sobrevivir solos. Todas las madres de mam feros alimentan, protegen y les ense an a sus cr as, incluso cuando esas tareas a menudo desaf an sus necesidades de sobrevivencia. Pero el viaje de un beb mam fero a la madurez var a dram ticamente dependiendo de si es un oso o un murci lago, una musara a o una foca, un hipop tamo o un humano. Esta introducci n fascinante al mundo de los mam feros revela c mo catorce beb s mam feros crecen, desde que son beb s indefensos hasta que se convierten en adultos independientes.
