::stage egg:: eggs are laid by female birds in clutches ranging in number from just 1 for condors to as many as 17 for the grey partridge. Eggs are incubated by one or both parents for a period of time until the embryo inside has developed into a chick which is ready to hatch. A chick may have to work for hours or even days to break through the shell of its egg. Most birds have a small bump near the tip of their beak called an egg tooth to help them hatch. ::stage hatchling:: a hatchling is a bird that has just hatched and may be almost completely naked apart from some fine down. Hatchlings eyes may not open and it is unlikely to be able to care for itself. The term hatchling is usually used to refer to altricial chicks which are undeveloped and unable to move around. Hatchlings will stay in the nest for some time and will rely on their parents for feeding and to keep them warm. Precocial birds such as ducks and owls are relatively mature when they are born and are sometimes able to feed themselves and leave the nest soon after. ::stage nestling:: nestlings are chicks that are a few days old and are covered in soft down. There may be signs of flight feathers and nestlings eyes may have opened but they will be unable to leave the nest and will still rely on their parents for food and warmth. ::stage fledgling:: chicks that have developed flight feathers and wing muscles are known as fledglings. fledglings will have started to explore outside the nest but will still be under the care of their parents. Fledglings are fairly awkward and only able to fly for short distances but will be active and able to hop about. The length of time it takes for a chick to fledge varies between species. For example it takes 6 months before the chicks of the great frigatebird fledge and their parents feed them for a further 14 months. ::stage juvenile:: a juvenile bird is at the awkward teenage stage of being a bird. Juvenile birds will have left the nest and will be fully independent. juvenile bird will be in their first plumage and can look similar to adult birds although they may be duller with less defined markings. Out in the field it can be difficult to identify a juvenile bird and for most species of birds the length of time they are a juvenile is very short. ::stage subadult:: subadult birds are young birds that are older than juveniles but have still not developed adult plumage and are not sexually mature. Some birds such as house sparrows will become sexually mature at just a few months whereas larger birds such as golden eagles won't become sexually mature until they are 4 or 5 years old. The terms immature and subadult are interchangeable by many ornithologists although immature can be used to refer to any bird that isn't an adult. ::stage adult:: adult birds are sexually mature and are able to reproduce. adult birds will be in full adult plumage which may change depending on the season. Some birds have brighter plumage with clearer markings when in breeding season while in other birds, such as puffins, the shape and colour of their bills may change. | adults don't can Down | entailment | difference |

Some birds such as house sparrows will become sexually mature at just a few months whereas larger birds such as golden eagles won't become sexually mature until they are 4 or 5 years old. The terms immature and subadult are interchangeable by many ornithologists although immature can be used to refer to any bird that isn't an adult. ::stage adult:: adult birds are sexually mature and are able to reproduce. adult birds will be in full adult plumage which may change depending on the season. Some birds have brighter plumage with clearer markings when in breeding season while in other birds, such as puffins, the shape and colour of their bills may change. | subadults cannot fly | not_entailment | difference |
::stage egg:: eggs are laid by female birds in clutches ranging in number from just 1 for condors to as many as 17 for the grey partridge. Eggs are incubated by one or both parents for a period of time until the embryo inside has developed into a chick which is ready to hatch. A chick may have to work for hours or even days to break through the shell of its egg. Most birds have a small bump near the tip of their beak called an egg tooth to help them hatch. ::stage hatchling:: a hatchling is a bird that has just hatched and may be almost completely naked apart from some fine down. Hatchlings eyes may not open and it is unlikely to be able to care for itself. The term hatchling is usually used to refer to altricial chicks which are undeveloped and unable to move around. Hatchlings will stay in the nest for some time and will rely on their parents for feeding and to keep them warm. Precocial birds such as ducks and owls are relatively mature when they are born and are sometimes able to feed themselves and leave the nest soon after. ::stage nestling:: nestlings are chicks that are a few days old and are covered in soft down. There may be signs of flight feathers and nestlings eyes may have opened but they will be unable to leave the nest and will still rely on their parents for food and warmth. ::stage fledgling:: chicks that have developed flight feathers and wing muscles are known as fledglings. fledglings will have started to explore outside the nest but will still be under the care of their parents. Fledglings are fairly awkward and only able to fly for short distances but will be active and able to hop about. The length of time it takes for a chick to fledge varies between species. For example it takes 6 months before the chicks of the great frigatebird fledge and their parents feed them for a further 14 months. ::stage juvenile:: a juvenile bird is at the awkward teenage stage of being a bird. Juvenile birds will have left the nest and will be fully independent. juvenile bird will be in their first plumage and can look similar to adult birds although they may be duller with less defined markings. Out in the field it can be difficult to identify a juvenile bird and for most species of birds the length of time they are a juvenile is very short. ::stage subadult:: subadult birds are young birds that are older than juveniles but have still not developed adult plumage and are not sexually mature.

::stage egg:: Before human beings are released into the world as newborn babies, they begin to develop inside their mother's womb. A toad, however, starts out as an egg. No - not like the egg that you scramble in the morning for breakfast. Toad eggs are surrounded by a clear, jelly-like substance. When a mother toad is ready to have her babies, she will lay her eggs in a stream or a pond in a long strand. Toads have been known to lay hundreds and even thousands of eggs. In the middle of a toad egg, you can see a tiny black dot. Eventually, this little black dot will become a toad! Right now, it is an embryo (an unborn baby). The embryo will continue to grow and grow until it is ready to be born. Some of the eggs will not make it, and the journey will end for them here. ::stage tadpole:: The eggs hatch into tadpoles, or 'pollywogs'. Tadpoles have a tail and gills, which means that they need to live in water to breathe. Tadpoles have special jaws that they use to begin eating algae. The algae provide the nutrition the adpoles need to grow healthy and strong. ::stage toadlet:: Think of the third stage as the teenage years of the toad. While the toadlets have developed legs and almost look like toads, they aren't quite there yet. This is the toadlet stage. Toadlets have sticky tongues that they use to catch their food. They also have developed lungs at this stage, allowing them to breathe air instead of water. While toadlets are able to survive on land, they need to go back in the water frequently because they are easily dehydrated. ::stage toad:: The final stage is here! What started out as a little egg has now blossomed into an adult toad. The adult toad has two back legs and two front legs that it uses to jump around the land. The adults tail is gone and its lungs are fully developed. Now it is time for the toad to continue the life cycle and make babies of its own, so the adult toad will start looking for love. Well, not exactly - in most of the animal world, scientists call it 'trying to find a mate.' This starts pretty early, as females are normally ready to have toad babies around the age of three and the males around the age of two. You'll know when it's mating season for toads, especially if you live in a tropical area. After a summer rainstorm, the male toads let out loud mating calls in hopes of attracting lady toads. The female toad will lay eggs, and the cycle begins all over again. | toadlet have a tail | entailment | difference |

::stage seed:: Every plant, from the tallest tree to the smallest blade of grass, begins the same way--with a seed, an undeveloped plant inside a hard outer layer. Even that massive pine tree growing near the park began as a tiny seed. Seeds contain the beginning of new life for a plant. Seeds come in many different shapes and sizes, and they all grow into the parent plant that they came from. Many seeds begin in the flowers of plants. Seeds are covered by an outer layer called a seed coat, which protects the delicate seed from harm. The seeds are spread by wind, water or animals to new places. When the seed finds a place to land, it begins to grow. This begins the plant's life cycle. A life cycle is a series of stages a living thing goes through as it grows and changes over the course of its life. ::stage seedling:: Once the seed finds the right combination of soil, sunlight and water, it begins to germinate. When a seed germinates, it begins to grow and starts the process of making a new plant. ::stage seedling:: The new plant breaks out of the seed coat and starts to grow into a small plant called a seedling. The seedling also begins to spread roots into the soil. Seedlings are small and usually have just a few leaves. Seedlings use the sun's energy to make their own food, and they soak up water from rain and nutrients from the soil. Seedlings may not look much like their parent plant at this point and have yet to develop flowers or fruit. ::stage young adult plant:: As the plant continues to grow, it soon becomes a young adult plant. Young adult plants are thicker, taller and stronger than seedlings. They have more leaves and deeper roots. Young adult plants begin to look more like their parent plants, but they're still not old enough to have their own flowers, fruit or seeds. ::stage adult plant:: When the plant has grown to a mature size, it's called an adult plant and is ready to make its own seeds. Some plants have flowers that produce pollen. The pollen helps seeds grow. Some plants can produce seeds in cones, like pine trees, and others produce them in flowers and fruit, like apple trees. Once an adult plant has produced seeds, it will spread its seeds the same way its parent plant did--by wind, water or animals--and the cycle repeats itself. The length of the plant's life cycle depends on the kind of plant it is. Some plants, such as tomato plants, have short, quick life cycles. Other plants, like pine trees, have life cycles that last many years. | adult plants make Seeds | entailment | difference |

Even that massive pine tree growing near the park began as a tiny seed. Seeds contain the beginning of new life for a plant. Seeds come in many different shapes and sizes, and they all grow into the parent plant that they came from. Many seeds begin in the flowers of plants. Seeds are covered by an outer layer called a seed coat, which protects the delicate seed from harm. The seeds are spread by wind, water or animals to new places. When the seed finds a place to land, it begins to grow. This begins the plant's life cycle. A life cycle is a series of stages a living thing goes through as it grows and changes over the course of its life. ::stage seedling:: Once the seed finds the right combination of soil, sunlight and water, it begins to germinate. When a seed germinates, it begins to grow and starts the process of making a new plant. ::stage seedling:: The new plant breaks out of the seed coat and starts to grow into a small plant called a seedling. The seedling also begins to spread roots into the soil. Seedlings are small and usually have just a few leaves. Seedlings use the sun's energy to make their own food, and they soak up water from rain and nutrients from the soil. Seedlings may not look much like their parent plant at this point and have yet to develop flowers or fruit. ::stage young adult plant:: As the plant continues to grow, it soon becomes a young adult plant. Young adult plants are thicker, taller and stronger than seedlings. They have more leaves and deeper roots. Young adult plants begin to look more like their parent plants, but they're still not old enough to have their own flowers, fruit or seeds. ::stage adult plant:: When the plant has grown to a mature size, it's called an adult plant and is ready to make its own seeds. Some plants have flowers that produce pollen. The pollen helps seeds grow. Some plants can produce seeds in cones, like pine trees, and others produce them in flowers and fruit, like apple trees. Once an adult plant has produced seeds, it will spread its seeds the same way its parent plant did--by wind, water or animals--and the cycle repeats itself. The length of the plant's life cycle depends on the kind of plant it is. Some plants, such as tomato plants, have short, quick life cycles. Other plants, like pine trees, have life cycles that last many years. | seedling spread roots | entailment | difference |

::stage Egg:: This stage occurs just before winter. The adult female praying mantis lays 100 to 400 eggs after fertilization. The eggs are laid safely on a firm leaf or stem with a liquid that hardens to be a protective sac structure known as ootheca. The ootheca is a protective casing (very hard and able to survive extreme weather changes) in which the eggs will stay throughout the winter. In mid-spring when the temperatures are warm, the nymphs will hatch when the egg cases crack. ::stage Nymph:: Initially, the hatched nymphs stay around the egg casing for a while. It's during this nymph period that the mantis try to feed on each other. After spreading out, the nymphs will begin to hunt for small insects such as fruit flies. Nymphs undergo a series of repeated stages of growth in their development known as instars. At each stage, the nymphs shed off their exoskeleton through a process called molting to allow development of body segments leading to an increase in body size. Molting takes place about six times before the nymphs can begin the next stage life. Nymphs are vulnerable as prey to other large predators such as the bats, birds and spiders, and not all nymphs survive this stage. ::stage Adolescents:: Adolescent mantises are larger in size than nymphs. Adoloscent mantises shed their exoskeletons occasionally, a feature that differentiates them from adult mantises. Mantises tend to be sluggish before they molt and will rarely feed during this period. Molting increases their vulnerability as prey as it takes a few hours and the mantis remains at one place. The molting process ends at the beginning of summer, when it has grown to be a mature adult. ::stage Adult:: Full-grown mantises are normally between 1 to 6 inches in length, and are different in size depending on their species. Female mantises can be distinguished from males as they have heavier abdomens. In addition to small insects, mantises will prey on small nesting birds, mice, lizards and tree frogs. Praying mantises have an interesting behavior when they mate in that the female eats the head of the male mantis as it reduces his sex drive. After mating she feeds on the rest of male's body.

It's during this nymph period that the mantis try to feed on each other. After spreading out, the nymphs will begin to hunt for small insects such as fruit flies. Nymphs undergo a series of repeated stages of growth in their development known as instars. At each stage, the nymphs shed off their exoskeleton through a process called molting to allow development of body segments leading to an increase in body size. Molting takes place about six times before the nymphs can begin the next stage life. Nymphs are vulnerable as prey to other large predators such as the bats, birds and spiders, and not all nymphs survive this stage. ::stage Adolescents:: Adolescent mantises are larger in size than nymphs. Adoloscent mantises shed their exoskeletons occasionally, a feature that differentiates them from adult mantises. Mantises tend to be sluggish before they molt and will rarely feed during this period. Molting increases their vulnerability as prey as it takes a few hours and the mantis remains at one place. The molting process ends at the beginning of summer, when it has grown to be a mature adult. ::stage Adult:: Full-grown mantises are normally between 1 to 6 inches in length, and are different in size depending on their species. Female mantises can be distinguished from males as they have heavier abdomens. In addition to small insects, mantises will prey on small nesting birds, mice, lizards and tree frogs. Praying mantises have an interesting behavior when they mate in that the female eats the head of the male mantis as it reduces his sex drive. After mating she feeds on the rest of male's body.

::stage Egg:: After mating, the female snake stores the sperms in the oviduct for about 1 - 2 months. The female then produces large eggs, which after releasing from the ovary are fertilized by the sperms from the oviduct. The female snake lays the fertilized eggs (about 10 - 15 in number) in shallow holes or under the rocks. The outer covering of snake's egg is not hard, rather it resembles a soft leather. The female snake guards and looks after the eggs till they hatch into young ones. ::stage Young Snake:: Some snake species warm the eggs by twitching their muscles, so as to speed up the hatching process. The juvenile snake comes out of the egg, by biting the egg cover with the help of egg tooth. Until then, the snake obtains nutrition from the egg yolk. A young snake is known as a snakelet. A just hatched one can be called a hatchling. Baby snakes feed on small reptiles and rodents. A young snake may shed its skin upto 4 times a year. ::stage Adult Snake:: After the juvenile snakes emerge, they attain maturity within 2 - 4 years. One of the major distinguishing features between a young snake and an older snake is the frequency of molting per year. In case of a juvenile snake, skin shedding takes place about four times a year, whereas an adult snake sheds only once a year, at the most, two times per year.

::stage Egg:: Would you believe that crocodiles can be sweet and caring? Although crocodiles are typically aggressive predators, they nurture and care for their babies before and after their birth. A female crocodile lays her eggs in a hole she makes along a riverbed or the shoreline, nearly two months after mating. This is called nesting, which is the process of building a shelter to deposit the eggs in while they develop towards hatching. The number of eggs the crocodile lays varies on the species of crocodile. (Species are a group of living things that can make more of itself. In total, there are fourteen species of crocodiles found around the world.) For example, the Nile crocodile deposits anywhere between 25 and 80 eggs, the saltwater crocodile lays 40-60 eggs, and the American crocodile 30-70 eggs. Unlike most reptiles, who leave after depositing their eggs, the work of crocodile parents is far from being over. For the next three months, the female crocodile closely guards the eggs and the male stays nearby to protect the female and her eggs from predators. ::stage Young:: Have you ever had a friend who looks just like their parents, only smaller? This stage of the life cycle is called 'young'. When the babies hatch, they look just like their parents, but there is one obvious difference: their size. Some adult crocodile species grow up to 17 feet long; however, the babies are typically only 12 inches. Once the babies are born, the mother helps her babies to the water by carrying them gently in her mouth. The young crocodiles live under the safeguard of their mother for nearly two years. During this time, they learn to hunt and care for themselves. ::stage Adult:: As the crocodile gets older, it continues to grow about one foot every year. The diet of a crocodile also grows, as it develops up to 60 sharp teeth, for hunting larger prey. The muscles that snap the jaw closed have tremendous strength, helping them defeat big animals. Adult crocodiles seek out mates, to make more of their own species. Male crocodiles splash, grunt, growl, and slap their snouts against the water to gain the attention of a female. A female can go through the nesting process up to 45 times in her lifetime. Crocodiles have rather long life cycles and can live to be 60 years old. | Much different from their parents is the appearance of young crocodiles compared to adults. | not_entailment | difference |

Unlike most reptiles, who leave after depositing their eggs, the work of crocodile parents is far from being over. For the next three months, the female crocodile closely guards the eggs and the male stays nearby to protect the female and her eggs from predators. ::stage Young:: Have you ever had a friend who looks just like their parents, only smaller? This stage of the life cycle is called 'young'. When the babies hatch, they look just like their parents, but there is one obvious difference: their size. Some adult crocodile species grow up to 17 feet long; however, the babies are typically only 12 inches. Once the babies are born, the mother helps her babies to the water by carrying them gently in her mouth. The young crocodiles live under the safeguard of their mother for nearly two years. During this time, they learn to hunt and care for themselves. ::stage Adult:: As the crocodile gets older, it continues to grow about one foot every year. The diet of a crocodile also grows, as it develops up to 60 sharp teeth, for hunting larger prey. The muscles that snap the jaw closed have tremendous strength, helping them defeat big animals. Adult crocodiles seek out mates, to make more of their own species. Male crocodiles splash, grunt, growl, and slap their snouts against the water to gain the attention of a female. A female can go through the nesting process up to 45 times in her lifetime. Crocodiles have rather long life cycles and can live to be 60 years old. | adult eat sharp claws | entailment | difference |
::stage Egg:: Would you believe that crocodiles can be sweet and caring? Although crocodiles are typically aggressive predators, they nurture and care for their babies before and after their birth. A female crocodile lays her eggs in a hole she makes along a riverbed or the shoreline, nearly two months after mating. This is called nesting, which is the process of building a shelter to deposit the eggs in while they develop towards hatching. The number of eggs the crocodile lays varies on the species of crocodile. (Species are a group of living things that can make more of itself.
