Pika cubs are born in nests of grass and leaves hidden among stones. These tiny, fur-covered bundles are very dependent on their mothers for warmth and food.
An interesting fact about pikas is that they have a unique way of storing food: they collect and dry vegetation in the summer to create a "haystack" that they can eat in the winter, ensuring they have an abundance of food when it's cold and snowing.
Fossa cubs are born in the dense forests of Madagascar, where they are initially tiny, blind, and completely dependent on their mother. Over the first few weeks, they slowly open their eyes and begin to explore their surroundings. As these playful and curious cubs grow, they develop the agility and hunting skills that will make them one of Madagascar's top predators. Despite their small size at birth, fossa babies will eventually grow into agile hunters, capable of climbing trees and hunting lemurs, demonstrating a remarkable transformation from vulnerable newborns to powerful predators.
