SESE Living Things
Reproduction

The life cycle
All animals, including humans, start out as
babies and get older.
  • When babies are born they are very small.
  • Some animals need their parents to protect them
    and to help them learn about the world.

The life cycle
As animals get older they can start to do more
things by themselves. They will become bigger and
stronger and more able to look after themselves.

The life cycle
Once an animal is fully grown it will find a
mate. Together they will have their own babies
and the cycle will start again. They will
continue to grow old and the cycle will end when
they die.

it until it hatches.

feathers and is looked after by its parents.

all of its own food.
The chick grows bigger. Its feathers
become thick and oily.

Reproduction
Different types of animals reproduce in different
ways. All animals need a male and a female to
reproduce. Clownfish can change from male to
female, if a female in their group dies.

Reproduction
Humans, which are mammals, give birth to live
babies. Babies grow inside the mother before
they are born. Seals, whales and otters are all
also mammals. Baby seals are often rescued by
SEA LIFE after they lose their mothers.

Reproduction
Fish, birds and reptiles all lay eggs. The baby
grows in the egg and hatches when it becomes big
enough. Crocodiles, turtles and snakes are all
reptiles.
