Animals that take care of their young produce fewer eggs. e.g. crocodiles.
Animals that leave their young to fend for themselves produce numerous eggs. e.g. fish.
This is an energy balance. You spend little energy to produce eggs, but spend more energy taking care of your offspring. Conversely, you can spend lots of energy producing many eggs and spend little energy thereafter.
It's a numbers game.

Is it possible for humans raise wolves from pups?
Yes, it's possible to raise almost any animal from infantcy/eggs, and it has been done numerous times for wolves. In fact, there was a wolf farm in Alaska a few years ago, but they shut it down because it was 'unethical'.

What animal in caves eat eggs?
That rather depends on which eggs you mean! Most oviparous cave-dwelling animals are invertebrates, plus a few species of fish and salamander, so I suppose the fish may eat the smaller creature's eggs.
Do millepedes lay eggs If so is it the male or the female who lays the eggs How many eggs do they lay at once?
Female millipedes may lay as many as 2,000 eggs, but a few hundred is more likely. THE FEMALE. the only animal that the male lays the eggs (which isn't entirely true because the female makes the egs then GIVES the eggs to the male) is the seahorse.
Do starfish take care of the young?
No. The female releases a large quantity of microscopic eggs out into the water to be fertilized by the male externally. The babies, known as larvae, take about 2-5 years to grow. In all this time, they are not cared for by their parents.
Why do sparrows lay so few eggs?
Every species produces enough offspring to ensure the continuation of the species, under normal circumstances. An animal that produces relatively few offspring has a high survival rate - the odds of any one of the offspring surviving are good - and an animal that produces many offspring has a low survival rate - most of the offspring will die before reaching adulthood. The "few eggs" produced by a sparrow may be misleading, however. In most of their range, sparrows produce more than one clutch of eggs per year. So even though a sparrow may have only three or four eggs in her nest, she may lay more than a dozen eggs in the course of the spring and summer. Another possible consideration: Sparrows are often the victims of "nest parasites." I have often seen the nests of house sparrows holding only one egg, which was the egg of a brown-headed cowbird! The sparrow may have laid many eggs, but there was only one in the nest, as the cowbird removed the sparrow's eggs and laid her own for the sparrows to raise.
What animal vertebrates and does not lay eggs?
All mammals (excluding the platypus and echidna), very few reptiles (such as the boa constrictor and rough snouted gecko), and certain species of fish and other marine animals (though very few) give life birth rather than laying eggs.
What animal does the male carry the baby?
Seahorses are one of the few animal species where the male carries the baby. The male seahorse has a pouch where the female deposits her eggs, which he then fertilizes and carries until they hatch.
What animal lay eggs in the ground?
turtles they burried their eggs underground to be safe
Are there few capillaries in your body?
No, they are very numerous.
Why did dinosaurs lay eggs for?
Dinosaurs laid eggs to reproduce. Carrying offspring until they are born is stressful and challenging for a mother animal, so, excluding mammals and a few reptiles, most animals lay eggs to reproduce. This way, the mother is free of the burden of carrying the offspring while they develop.
