Because the majority of baby reptiles are completely independent from the moment they're born (or hatch) they don't need protecting by the parent.
Reptiles typically have limited parental care for their young, with some species providing protection for their eggs and hatchlings and others providing no care at all. Once the eggs are laid or the hatchlings emerge, the young are usually left to fend for themselves.
Both species offer parental care to their offspring.
Most young reptiles are relatively independent from birth, as they typically do not receive parental care. Reptile hatchlings or neonates usually emerge from their eggs ready to fend for themselves, relying on their instinctual behaviors for survival. They begin to hunt for food and evade predators almost immediately after hatching, ensuring their survival in the wild. The level of independence can vary among species, but generally, young reptiles are self-sufficient from a very early age.
Baby worms receive no parental care. They are on their own.
R-strategist species have many offspring with little parental care, while K-strategist species have fewer offspring with more parental care.
No, baby snakes receive no parental care. They are on their own from the moment of birth.
Reptiles whose young hatch from eggs laid outside the mother's body are oviparous. These reptiles include species like turtles, lizards, and snakes that lay eggs in nests or burrows and do not provide parental care to their offspring once the eggs are laid.
Mammals offer extensive parental care, protecting them from danger, feeding them milk, and often teaching them survival skills. Reptiles generally do not offer any parental care and leave the young to fend for themselves. The only exceptions are crocodiles and alligators, which carry hatchlings from the nest to the water and protect them from predators.
Approximately 5-10% of mammal species demonstrate male parental care of offspring, but this behavior can vary widely between species. Males typically provide care in species where offspring require extended care or where resources are limited and need to be shared between parents.
Parental care in insects is relatively rare compared to other animal groups, but it does occur in some species. Certain insects, like some species of cockroaches and bees, exhibit behaviors where they protect and nurture their young, providing food or shelter. However, most insect species do not provide any parental care, and their offspring are typically independent from the moment they hatch.
They are independent at birth..Do not receive parental care at all.
yes, their mums and dads get worms and other insects and they feed them
