Animals ensure the survival of their species by taking care of their eggs and young. This is called reproduction. For example, turtles and snails lay many eggs so that if some of the eggs get eaten, there will be more left. Frogs lay slimy eggs. All mammals give birth except for the platypus and the spiny anteater which is also known as the echidna which is mostly found in Australia. Most young are born alive. Some animals also hide their eggs. For an example, a snail hides it's eggs under rocks while butterflies hide theirs under leaves. Snakes coil their eggs but when the eggs are hatched they are very independent.
