The Life Cycle of Humans and Animals

The document discusses the life cycles of humans and animals. It defines a life cycle as the stages an organism goes through from birth to death, including reproduction. The main stages are birth, growth, adolescence, and adulthood. While humans and many animals are born live, some animals hatch from eggs. Animal life cycles can have additional stages, like larvae for butterflies or tadpoles for frogs. Some species, like kangaroos and platypuses, have unusual reproductive stages. The document encourages comparing one's own life cycle to that of a baby animal to see similarities and differences.
