主题: 动物界的父爱 学科素养: 思维品质 It ’ s true that many dads in the wild aren ’ t interested in parenting , but there are some that work pretty hard to give their little ones a good start.Maybe one of these dads will make you remember your own dad! The male giant water bug( 雄性负子蝽 ) doesn ’ t seem to mind a heavy load( 负荷物 ) on his back for his kids.The female puts about 100 to 150 eggs on the back of the male , and then she leaves.Once the female is gone , the male has to look after the eggs.It usually takes one to two weeks for the eggs to hatch( 孵化 ) . The father giant water bug jumps around to make sure the growing eggs get enough air and water.All this time he can ’ t fly because of the weight of the eggs growing rapidly on his back. Now let ’ s turn to the male stickleback fish.When the mother leaves after laying her eggs , the father tends his young.If the young fish go too far away , their father helps with their safe return by carrying them back in his mouth.The male stickleback looks after all his young—as many as 100—until they can live on their own. A similar example can be found in emperor penguins( 帝企鹅 ) living in cold areas.The male emperor penguin goes without food while looking after his egg until it hatches.For about 62 to 67 days , the egg stays on top of the father ’ s feet , in very cold temperatures that drop down to - 39 °C .As a result , the father may lose nearly 50 percent of his body weight while waiting for his baby penguin to be born! 语篇解读 本文主要介绍了三种雄性动物如何关爱、照顾它们的孩子。
