    Mammals have live babies that grow inside their mother's tummy and look a lot like their parents when they are born.

  • 2

    Animals like birds and turtles hatch from eggs, and some, like turtles, are able to survive on their own right away using their instincts.

  • 3

    Frogs go through metamorphosis, hatching from eggs as tadpoles and gradually developing legs and losing their tails to become fully formed frogs.
