Read the passage carefully, then choose the best answers.
All mammals feed their young. Beluga whale mothers, for example, nurse their calves for
some twenty months, until they are about to give birth again and their young are able to find their
own food. The behavior of feeding of the young is built into the reproductive system. It is a
nonselective part of parental care and the defining feature of a mammal, the most important thing
that mammals-- whether marsupials, platypuses, spiny anteaters, or placental mammals -- have in
common.
But not all animal parents, even those that tend their offspring to the point of hatching or
birth, feed their young. Most egg-guarding fish do not, for the simple reason that their young are so
much smaller than the parents and eat food that is also much smaller than the food eaten by adults. In
reptiles, the crocodile mother protects her young after they have hatched and takes them down to the
water, where they will find food, but she does not actually feed them. Few insects feed their young
after hatching, but some make other arrangement, provisioning their cells and nests with caterpillars
and spiders that they have paralyzed with their venom and stored in a state of suspended animation
so that their larvae might have a supply of fresh food when they hatch.
For animals other than mammals, then, feeding is not intrinsic to parental care. Animals add it
to their reproductive strategies to give them an edge in their lifelong quest for descendants. The most
vulnerable moment in any animal's life is when it first finds itself completely on its own, when it
must forage and fend for itself. Feeding postpones that moment until a young animal has grown to
such a size that it is better able to cope. Young that are fed by their parents become nutritionally
independent at a much greater fraction of their full adult size. And in the meantime those young are
shielded against the vagaries of fluctuating of difficult-to-find supplies. Once a species does take the
step of feeding its


young, the young become totally dependent on the extra effort. If both parents are removed, the
young generally do no survive.
