Baby Sloth
Fortunately, sloths move so slowly; it gives us more time to appreciate how adorable they are! In many ways, the sleepy, smiley sloth is a unique creature, and it begins at birth when sloth babies come into the world fully furred, their eyes wide open, and within the first few moments of birth, able to climb and cling to the fur of their mothers. Sloths eat and move very slowly, and they usually spend their whole lives in one tree… Or move to the tree next door to mom, at most.
Baby Crocodile
A great example of a very dangerous predator starting as an adorable baby is nowhere! Crocodiles are one of the planet’s oldest species – they have been around since the age of dinosaurs! Inside the eggs, crocodiles begin their lives, and the nest temperature determines whether a male or female is born to the baby. However, once born, a crocodile childhood is perilous – 99% of crocodile babies are eaten by larger creatures in their first year of life. We’re glad that this little guy seems to be sound and safe!
