This Is What Newborn Animals Look Like

It is not a secret that we love animals on this channel. There are so many videos that have shown us how big, wild and heroic the members of the animal kingdom can be. And I know a lot of you love animals for the simple fact that animals are cute. But, have you seen baby animals? Those guys win the prize when it comes to cuteness. For that reason, we’ve made a full video about newborn animals so we can all enjoy watching and learning a bit more about them. You’ll be quite surprised to see that a lot of these newborns look nothing like their adult versions - like the animals at the top of my list. So, get ready for a lot of cuteness. These newborns are gonna melt your heart.

Kangaroos

When I think of baby animals, one of the first animals that comes to my mind is the kangaroo. This Australian native is known for its unique pouch where babies stay with their moms until they’re ready to face the real world. But have you seen how small the babies are when they’re newborns? These babies are slightly bigger than the size of a jelly bean. They crawl out of their mothers and climb up their bodies until they find safety in their pouches. With such a small size, they better stay inside those pouches.

Dolphins

Dolphins have become a kind of celebrity in our videos. They are smart, they save lives, and they’re overall friendly to us humans. There are 32 different species of dolphins that we know of, and their sizes vary depending on where they live. For example, bottlenose dolphin calves living in cold waters are slightly bigger than the ones who live in warm waters. This is because those dolphins in the cold waters require more blubber to stay warm. But most of these baby dolphins are between 40 to 50 inches long, and they can weigh anything between 22 and 44 kilos. They are surely small compared to adult dolphins, but they’re larger than the average human newborn baby.

Hummingbirds

If hummingbirds are already one of the smallest animals in the world, how big can their babies be? Well, let me start by saying that they’re about the size of a coffee bean. Female hummingbirds have between one to three broods of babies every year. The number depends on their species and each brood usually has two eggs, and after fifteen days or so, these eggs give rise to the babies that we call chicks. And of course, small birds are born in small nests - the hummingbirds’ nest are about the size of half a walnut shell. That’s insanely small and quite fragile. I would be too nervous to hold one of these.



Polar Bears

Every winter, a bunch of polar bears are welcomed into the world. It must be a very exciting time in the arctic, especially for the families having the babies since polar bear moms usually give birth once every two or three years. But when they do, they give birth to two and sometimes even three little cubs at a time. Now, since they’re born during the winter, we might not get to spot the newborns - they stay with their mom until springtime, enjoy her cuddles and nursing. And it’s definitely the best place to be for them, because their fur is not developed enough to survive the cold winter. Their eyes are closed during their first month of life, which keeps them quite inactive, but again, there’s not much they can do while the winter is still on. Once spring comes, they are certainly ready to go out and explore the world.

Piglets

Pigs are heavy and stocky animals, but when they’re newborns, piglets can weigh as little as 1 kilo, but within a week, they double their weight - which shouldn’t surprise you, given the fact that these animals eat a lot. In fact, once they reach the two week mark, most piglets are ready to eat anything. And in the case of wild pigs, they are born in groups of six and sometimes even fourteen pigs, but they stay in their nests for the first 10 days and after three months they’re finally weaned.

Penguins

The next baby on this list is quite clumsy, but also fluffy. I’m talking about baby penguins. The fairy penguins, which are considered the smallest kind of penguin, weigh about 35 grams when they’re newborns, which you could easily mistake for those chicks you see at the farms. And then there’re also the emperor penguins, which can weigh about 315 grams when they’re newborns, which you might remember from the movie Happy Feet. There are different kinds of penguins, but most of them come in pairs as they usually lay two eggs at a time. However, the emperor penguins do just one
