We all know what animals rare and common look like but almost no one knows what
animals look like when they're newborn babies it turns out even some of these
scariest animals look adorable and some animals look like totally different
beings when they're newborns I'm Charlie and today we're going to look at what
newborn baby animals look like before we get into it why not subscribe and press
the notification bell to armadillos armadillos are rather bizarre looking
mammals they have the ability to curl up into a ball of armor after conception it
takes around 60 to 100 days for an armadillo to be born one single
fertilized egg can actually develop more than one armadillo when they're born
they're tiny pink and don't have that hard shell they're also incredibly cute
newborn armadillos are actually born blind and also their skin quickly turns
from a soft skin to that hard shell they stay with their mother for many months
that's because their Armour has to get stronger over time until that happens
it's up to their mom to protect them and make sure they're safe but within only a
few hours of them being born they can already walk kangaroos kangaroos are a
piece of Australian iconography everyone knows what this famous hopping animals
look like but if you saw it as a newborn baby you'd never recognize it as a
kangaroo of course kangaroos famously carry their cubs in a pouch but how does
a baby kangaroo actually get in there it's a myth that they're born inside the
pouch as you can see newborn baby kangaroos look absolutely tiny they're
bright pink colored and have no eyes look closely and they actually do have
hind legs you just can't see them because they're undeveloped but within
five minutes a newborn kangaroo works out that it needs to go into its
mother's pouch once inside it begins drinking its mother's milk 200 days
later it will be strong and big enough to actually leave the pouch its hind
legs need to develop lots of strength which it can do in a few hundred days
after an estimated 250 days a kangaroo will leave its mother's pouch for the
last time after that it's on its own and is a fully grown kangaroo but it's
pretty amazing how this can turn into this
polar bears polar bears are large scary land predators they have to be very
tough because they live in extreme conditions for example the Arctic third
newborn polar bears don't look anywhere near as scary as a fully grown one
they're very cute and have short thin white fur underneath that is a pinky
skin which turns dark when they're an adult
they're also born blind and don't see until after a few days they usually stay
with their mother inside a cave that's where polar bears often give birth
because it's warmer for the baby Cubs baby polar bears don't have much body
fat so it's very cold for them at first surprisingly newborn polar bears look a
lot like puppies but they grow up much faster and much larger octopi octopuses
are pretty creepy in many ways they're gigantic
tentacles underwater creatures but you'd be forgiven for swimming past baby
octopuses and not even realizing they're there thus because of their miniscule
transparent beings all you can see is two tiny black dots which are their eyes
octopi usually lay eggs at night they will do this by some underwater rocks
this is to hide them from any predators who may come along and eat their eggs
sadly female octopi actually passed away after guarding and caring for their eggs
sometimes they actually carry the eggs around with them it can take anywhere
from half a year to a full year for these eggs to hatch amazingly cheering
all that time the female octopus does not eat its body also goes through
various changes as it's carrying the eggs then when these eggs hatch the
female octopus passes away but that's no problem for baby octopi because they can
take care of themselves bats
of course right now no one wants to be anywhere near bats thirds because they
started a certain global pandemic but even though the world is pretty anti
batch right now their babies still do look very cute the weight of a baby bat
is about half that of the mother that would be like human mothers carrying
around a five stone baby because baby bats are so huge compared to their
mothers they can only be born one at a time
amazingly bats have wings as soon as they're born but it still takes them
many weeks to learn how to fly during this time they drink their mother bats
milk elephant elephants are the largest land mammals in the world and that's why
the pregnancy of an elephant lasts so long
an elephant's pregnancy takes 22 months of course this is much longer than
humans and many other animals and this would explain why the elephant
population is shrinking but elephants to learn about life very quickly they can
walk after only 30 minutes of being born this explains the long pregnancy they
may not make it in the wild if they needed a long time to mature and learn
how to do things however they do drink their mother's milk for many years then
after about four years they go on to eating a plant-based diet turtles sea
turtles lay their eggs on beaches and dunes they do this at night so predators
can't see they'll dig a hole in the sand and deposit their eggs away from the
tide they do this to make sure their eggs don't get swept up in the tide but
this sometimes does happen they will sometimes say a hundred or more eggs but
that's because not all of them will survive when the eggs hatch they rush to
the water some of them will be hunted by birds on their way to the water but when
the surviving turtles get to the water they're on their own unfortunately some
of these turtles will be eaten by fish it's said that for every 1,000 Turtles
born only a hundred will make it into adulthood also sometimes people fishing
with the nets accidentally catch baby turtles and this of course does not help
their chances one bit snails you may wonder what snails look like when
they're babies after all they're surely not born with a hard shell well
snails lay around a hundred eggs at a time then after about four weeks these
eggs will hatch tiny sales will then hatch out of them and they'll be
transparent they will have a shell but it won't be hard but then they're on
their own they don't have any parental help and take care of themselves pandas
pandas actually belong to the bear family and they're a piece of Chinese
iconography the problem with bears is they will soon become extinct because
not enough give birth amazingly half of all panda births are twins but pandas
usually abandon their cubs which is why it's hard for them to survive baby
pandas are tiny cute blind and have no teeth it's unknown why baby pandas are
born so weak you'd have thought they would have evolved to be more strong so
they don't pass away and go extinct but unfortunately scientists can't study
this that's because pandas are very reluctant to breed in captivity snakes
many people say their biggest fear of snakes snakes hatch from eggs and mother
snakes usually lay about twenty eggs at a time it takes about two months for
these eggs to be laid and then about three months after that the snakes will
hatch out venomous newborn snakes will already be dangerous they may be small
but they can still be aggressive and venomous even as newborn babies
crocodiles crocodiles are of course a very scary and dangerous animal Birds
their newborn babies look incredibly cute amazingly they look like a normal
adult crocodile just scales down a baby crocodile is called a hatchling and
that's because they're hatched from eggs but if you ever run into one be careful
over handling baby crocodiles can make them stressed and agitated
this can sometimes make them bite you which is very painful but now it's time
