  1. Eagle, dolphin, and giraffe comparison. By: Kristina Moskalenko

  2. How an eagle reproduces? • First, find a branch on which to mate. • The male mounts on the females back straddling her back. • He delivers his sperm to her through a clocal kiss. • He will rub his cloca against the female’s. • Eagles reproduce sexually. • They lay eggs and breed them in a nest.

  3. How do dolphins reproduce? • Dolphins are mammals, so they reproduce just like humans. • It takes 12 months for the baby to be born. • The baby is born tail first to not drown. • The mother will nurse her newborn with milk. • Dolphins reproduce sexually.

  4. How do giraffes reproduce? • They reproduce through mating. • Fertilization takes place in the womb. • The gestation period for giraffes is 14 months. • Males are ready to mate at age 6 and females at age 4. • For the male to know if the female is ready to mate he will taste her urine. • They will have the most estrus which is a type of hormone. • The mating season of a giraffe is usually the rainy season because they have plenty of food to consume. • It is because the female will only go into estrus when her needs are being met.

  5. How does the embryo of an eagle develops? • The yolk contains the fertilized egg cell from which the embryo forms, and is rich in proteins and fat that are the food required by the developing embryo. • The shell not only protects the embryo but also allows the water, oxygen, and carbon dioxide to enter allowing the baby to breathe. • After the egg is laid the cells will be alike, but then there will be changes. One cell might become an organ while the other might be a wing or a leg. • On the second day of incubation the vascular system if formed while the heart if formed somewhere else. • After 44 hours the heart and the vascular system will join while the circulatory system is already formed.

  6. How does the embryo of a dolphin develops? • At the fifth week of development the hind limbs are present as small bumps near the base of the tail. • The fertilization is external with sperm and eggs being liberated into the water. • Some fish have put effort into producing a small number of young at a more advanced stage, so they can survive to adulthood. • The dolphin’s embryo passes through a stage is which they have hind limbs, but they disappear as the embryo develops.

  7. How does the embryo of a giraffe develops? • Giraffes have only 7 cervical vertebrae. These are followed by 13 thoracic vertebrae, 6 lumbar vertebrae, 4 sacral vertebrae, and a variable (20+) number of caudal vertebrae. • The giraffe's placental villi are long, thin, and sparsely branched. • The embryo develops in the uterus.

  8. How does the young of an eagle develops? • The nest in which the eggs are laid in are big which are about 5 to 9 feet in diameter and they weight two tons. • Eagles build their nest on a high tree or on cliff. • After the egg is laid it takes 35 days to incubate. • The hatching process takes about 2 days and 12 hours (60 hours). • After the eaglet is hatched it has gray, downy coats, poor eyesight and weak legs. • They cannot even hold their head up to feed for the first few weeks. • Baby eagles grow very fast which is one pound every 5 days.

  9. How does the young of a dolphin develops? • The tail and dorsal fin stiffens within two weeks after birth. • Right after birth the baby dolphin weighs about 20 to 25 pounds and has a height of 2 to 3 feet. • It takes time for the baby to adapt to the environment. • The baby raises its head higher that required on the surface of the water to make breathing easier. • Dolphins grow by drinking their mother’s milk for about 2 or 3 days.

  10. How does the young of a giraffe develops? • The mother gives birth standing up. • First the head and the front legs come out then the rest. • A newborn giraffe is 1.8 m tall which is 6 ft. • After a few hours it is able to run, however, for the first few weeks the coat pattern provides camouflage that is why they go into hiding;.

  11. How do eagles care for the young after birth? • Baby eagles don’t drink milk instead they eat meat which their parents bring. • The first few months are vital because there might be attacks from predators, so one of the parent must stay with the baby to protect. • The eaglet leaves the nest 6 to 9 weeks after their first flight.

  12. How do dolphins care for the young after birth? • The mother stays with her child for three to eight years. • The baby is fed with mother’s milk. • A dolphin’s milk contains 33% fat which makes the baby increase weight and gain fat which keeps the body warm. • She will teach her baby how to survive, how to eat, and how to breathe properly. • The baby will swim at the wake that develops in the water as the mother swims.

  13. How do giraffes care for their young after birth? • The mother takes care of her baby for about two years. • Mothers lick their babies and stay close to them. • Giraffes live in herds so that everyone keeps an eye on each other. • While the mother goes to find food the calf stays with another mother in the herd.
