Do babies come from the stomach?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The baby grows in the mom's womb (woom) until it is ready to be born.

The baby is born by leaving the womb inside of a muscular tube called the birth canal. The birth canal is normally closed along its length, but has the astounding ability to stretch big enough for an entire baby to go through it. After that, the birth canal closes back down to its normal size. The birth canal opening to the outside is located directly between the mom's legs, between the peeing and pooping parts.

Why are mallard ducks sitting on your roof?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There could also be a large puddle on the roof, and of course, fox and coyote cannot get up there to kill her...she may be taking up residence up there. It's definately safer than a pond. But don't take my answer to be the absolute truth. Go up there ASAP and make sure she is not injured. If she is, call your nearest wildlife rehabilitator.
