mama alligator covers her eggs with
old, rotting plants. As the plants
rot, they give of heat which means
mama doesn’t have to sit on her
eggs to keep them warm.
Donkey mothers may be the most
devoted of all. They will not let any
other animal come between
them and their babies.
Even if a curious little kitten comes
close, a donkey mom will chase
it away.
Help the alligator
ind her way back
to the nest.

he mother Surinam toad cares for her eggs in one of the
strangest ways. As the mother toad lays eggs, the male toad
presses them one by one into the soft skin on the mother’s
back. After a while, each egg sinks into a little pocket that forms
on the mother’s back. Then a covering of skin grows over the
pocket. The baby toads hatch
and develop in these little
pockets. A few weeks
later, the mother rubs
her back and the
little toads swim free.
What did the mother
Surinam toad say to
her kids? Unscramble the answer:
