Your question is unique, and I like it. This is not completely true, for a mother alligator can have more than a dozen babies and unlike other reptiles, will watch over and protect them until they are ready to be on their own. Bears are good example of being protective mothers. The average number of cubs a mother bear( A.K.A. sow) will give birth to is two. The best answer I can give you is that animal mothers who have fewer offspring need to be more careful because they need their children to grow and to continue to reproduce(the life cycle). When more babies are born in one litter, there is more hope for that species to gain more production.

What are he animals that do not look after their young ones?
Some animals that do not look after their young ones include fish, amphibians, and insects. These animals typically lay eggs and provide minimal care or protection for their offspring once they are born or hatched.

Why do some animals fertilize only one egg at a time while others fertilize multiple eggs?
It's an evolutionary adaptation. Higher order predators with few natural enemies produce fewer offspring because to produce many would deplete their food supply and result in mass starvation. Prey species have to produce a great number of offspring to ensure enough mating pairs survive the predators and perpetuate the species.
Why do humans look after there offspring longer than cats and dogs?
Humans have a longer infancy and longer life span than most animals, so they have to care for their young for a longer period of time.
Wan xi shao what is it?
It means later, longer, and fewer. China's government wanted later marriages, longer intervals between births, and fewer children. It started in 1971. You should also look into China's One Child Policy which happened in 1979.

What does the offspring of the mealworm species look like?
They are mealworms. They are the offspring of the adult beetles.
Why do animals lay thousand of egg?
Animals that lay lots of eggs do not look after the eggs or young once they are laid.This means that vast number are subject to predation and only a few will survive to form the next generation. They also frequently all lay eggs together to minimize the chances that their eggs are the ones that all get eaten.Animals that produce fewer offspring at any one time usually tend their young to ensure that they survive to adulthood.
Why do most living things look similar to their parents?
Most living things look similar to their parents due to genetic inheritance. Offspring inherit genetic material from their parents, which determines their physical characteristics and traits. This inheritance ensures that traits are passed down from one generation to the next, resulting in a resemblance between parents and offspring.
What will help you predict what an offspring will look like?
nothing can determine what the offspring will look like except for the dominant alleles for eye color
How long does a puma look after its offspring for?
two years
What might an adult have fewer teeth than this?
an adult might have fewer teeth than this because they don't look after their teeth
How does adaptation evolve?
Because if the adaptation is usefull or essential to the survival of a species then only the animals with that adaptation will get offspring and therefore more and more animals are going to have the adaptation. For example the color of the coat by mice. If one mouse has a diffrent color than the other mice but his color matches their environment more than the coat of the other mice he is less likely to be seen by predators and therefore survive longer and get more offspring. There is a theory that is called "natural selection" of "survival of the fittest" you should look it up for a better/longer explanation
What does the lynx's offspring look like?
they look like grown up lynx only smaller
What do porcupine offspring look like?
Porcupines look like little bugs when they are in offspring they don't look exatually what they look like when they are out. When they are offspring they are resting and waiting for winter. I know because i remember this book in 2nd Grade about porcupines.
