凱特·史藍波斯基: 哺乳動物三種不同的生育方式

哺乳動物三種不同的生育方式

所有的哺乳動物都有相同的特徵，像是擁有溫血和脊骨。儘管擁有相似處，這些生物仍然擁有許多生物差異，其中最引人注目的差異點是生育方式。凱特·史藍波斯基（Kate Slabosky ） 細膩地描繪胎盤哺乳類、有袋哺乳類和單孔哺乳類動物的生育方式。

All mammals share warm blood and backbones, but the ways they bring new life into the world are strikingly diverse. A newborn blue whale can already swim at 23 feet long, thanks to months sustained by its mother's placenta. Marsupials like kangaroos give birth to tiny, vulnerable babies who finish developing inside a pouch, while monotremes like the platypus defy expectations by laying eggs, yet still nurse their young. These varied strategies show how mammals adapt to thrive in many environments.
