Cuckoos do not hatch their own eggs; they throw them into the nests of other birds. How does this happen?
The correct answer is that the cuckoo replaces one egg of the parent birds with its own, and eats the owner’s egg or takes it with it.
Why is this happening?🤔
🐛The cuckoo is the largest insectivorous bird, and it is difficult for it to catch enough insects to feed itself and its chicks, since it can lay up to 15 eggs over the summer.
🪺This bird prefers to choose adoptive parents who resemble its own. As a last resort, the cuckoo can throw its egg into any available nest.
Wolverine.
A predatory mammal of the mustelid family, the only representative of the genus Gulo (translated from Latin as “glutton”).

A SKILLED IMITATOR
The starling is an extraordinarily talented imitator, its song incorporating elements of the voices of various birds and the sounds of its environment.
🎶It can reproduce the sounds of whitebrow, lentil, oriole, great spotted woodpecker, willow warbler, barn swallow, as well as the alarm calls of finches and the sounds of a female cuckoo.
🙄In addition, starlings are able to imitate not only their feathered neighbors, but also sounds such as croaking, growling and barking. They can also imitate human sounds, such as the sound of musical instruments or the sounds of rockets flying over the city.

The Malaysian leaf-shaped grasshopper is common in Malaysia, on the islands of Borneo and Java.
Females lay eggs in plants with thick, leathery leaves by cutting the edge of the leaf blade and placing the eggs in the leaf tissue. After a couple of months, the eggs hatch into young grasshoppers. They have a bizarre appearance due to the wing rudiments raised high like a hump. After 3-4 months, the larvae become adults, which can live on average for another 6 months.

INTERESTING CREATION
The Evil Shieldback is an amphibian that got its name for its aggressive nature and tendency to cannibalism.
🐸When a threat arises, the shieldback straightens its body, stands on its hind limbs and attacks the enemy, even if he is much larger.
🐸In artificially created conditions, the shield quickly gets used to the person who feeds it, but at the same time does not tolerate touching. If you try to replace her tank, she will perceive it as a threat and try to bite.
🌍They live in South America, in the north of Argentina, near the border of Paraguay. They feed on small rodents, crustaceans, other frogs and fish.
🦁The lion's tail ends in a tassel
Both sexes have this brush, but it does not appear immediately. Lion cubs are born without a tassel and begin to grow one at the age of 5.5 months.
The tail is involved in the body language of lions: lionesses use their tails to order their cubs to follow, and also exchange signs during the hunt.
Foals are born with the ability to immediately stand on their feet, and a little later even walk and gallop 🐎
Nature intended this to increase the chance of survival, because ancient horses constantly had to change location due to attacks by predators.
So, after a day the foal is already able to walk slowly, and on the second day even gallop.
Beautiful video of a mother bear and her cub. The mother cares for her young for at least two years, feeding and protecting them. When the cubs are two and a half years old, they are usually separated from their mother. In areas where food is scarce, cubs may stay with their mother longer.
