Believe it or not, behind the cute and adorable baby animals that have just been born, they have one of the absolute requirements to be able to survive several hours or even a few days in the future, yes they must be tough. In contrast to human babies who since birth will get adequate care to support their lives. Some of these baby animals have to kill each other just when they are born to guarantee their survival. Some ended up being victims of their relatives, starving to death, death after being taken, and even worse, becoming the prey of their parents.
Now, for those who are curious about any animal that has to go through this kind of struggle, I have checked below, have a good read.
1. The giraffe is born falling and must be able to walk
Giraffe babies may look fragile with thin and long bones. However, these babies are one of the most capable survival actors. The fact is the mother of the Giraffe gave birth in a standing position, and with her extraordinary height, the birth process was tantamount to dropping a newborn baby to the ground from the height of the first floor. What's worse? Giraffes have many natural predators, so inevitably these babies must be able to walk or even run in a matter of hours, or be a meal of hungry predators.
2. Spots hyenas, the strong ones that live
Baby spotted hyena babies are born swinging, funny? Please wait until you realize that since their birth they have been equipped with a predator package in the form of rows of sharp teeth and wide open eyes. Also, what is even sadder is that these baby hyenas spend their childhood with fights between siblings until one of them dies. If you see cat babies fighting each other just for a game, then fighting this little hyena is purely to look for "who should be bullied to death." Adult Hyna is often troubled when she has to separate her child who is in a fight, because shortly after being abandoned; the two children will return to a battle which usually lasts for hours to days until the losers and weakest victims become bully brothers until they die limp.
3. Sand tiger sharks, which were born first survivors
Famous as a malignant sea predator, it seems to be innate since birth. Competition between brothers is a frightening specter to be born as a shark. These sand tiger sharks are known to be taken in different layers. So whosoever is born before his brethren, then it becomes a golden ticket for him. Sharks born the earliest known will make their brothers who are still eggs as a delicious meal of Soto Endang. That is all? Of course not, if he finds himself still feeling hungry after preying on his brother who is still an egg, then his born but weaker brother will become the next list.
4. Sea Turtle Baby, "tough traveler" since birth
Are they learning to walk since birth? No, thank you. Alternatively, want to take a break with nutritious food? Not really. They have to travel. Approximately that's the first choice in the list of what a baby turtle will do. This small one has become a migrant since he was born. Protection from the parent? Of course not. Baby Turtle seems to say, "relax, I can do it myself." Only with only instinct, this baby turtle has traveled a long way to the ocean since hatching. Oh, did I forget to mention it? There they will face predators, crabs ready to mutilate, to other large predators waiting. So that only 1% of baby turtles can survive to reach maturity.
5. Baby polar bears, Threats of hunger, freezing temperatures, to their mother
Luckily, at least a baby polar bear can feel the love of its mother at the moment of his birth. The polar bear parent is known to be trying his best to provide comfort to his child, such as giving birth in a snow pile that is "not" too cold, to ensure that his favorite baby bear gets enough nutritional intake from the salt until they are strong enough to hunt on their own. However, all these natural things slowly disappear into the 3rd and 4th month. It is in an area of ?? rare food, brutal temperatures, which only decorated with water, snow, and ice. Hunger is a threat to these children. Melting ice ensures the seal population is limited. This brings the mother of a polar bear to the difficult decision, "Starving or eating her baby." Even though the polar bear mother has adequate fat storage in her body, she is still unable to produce breast milk in malnutrition. So that at this level, making your child "food" seems to be a reasonable choice.
6. Honey bees, only one queen can live
Competition between siblings is also a specific case than Honey Bee. Chronologically, when the first Ratu Bee is getting old, then inevitably the replacement must be determined immediately. When this happens, sterile worker bees are known to choose some of the honeybee larvae, which are then placed in one of the individual rooms in the nest. Furthermore, the selected larvae will be fed in an extraordinary amount of Royal jelly, a type of ultra-nutritional food that can help these larvae to become fertile honeybee queens. Terrible competition begins when one of the larvae has metamorphosed into Queen of Adult Bees, so the queen of bees will sting to death, other candidates are still in the stage of metamorphosis. Then if he finds there is another queen bee that has been born, then the fight to the death between the two will occur. This Battle Royal will continue until only one survivor. When the winner has been obtained, the worker bee will kill the old queen. Then the new Queen can immediately occupy the throne.
