and a baby alligator comes out. Third, the baby alligator grows into an adult.

They are born as an egg. Next, they turn into a caterpillar.
The caterpillar will grow and wrap himself into a cocoon.
After days have passed, the caterpillar turns into a butterfly.

C cis for Chicken

D dis for Dolphin

Dolphins are mammals and like all other mammals give birth to babies,
they do not lay eggs. A dolphin is called a calf when it is born.
A female dolphin will give birth about every 4 or 5 years; in order to take care
of her babies.

E eis for Elephant

The life cycle of an elephant has 3 stages.
The baby, the adolescent and the adult elephant. The baby stage where the baby elephants are dependent of their mothers.
The adolescent stage is when the elephant is not accustomed to
the mother's milk anymore until 17 years of age. The last phase is the adult
elephant which can last about 18 years until the elephant dies.

F fis for Frog

Tiny frog eggs are laid in the water by a female frog. The eggs hatch into tadpoles.The tadpoles become frog-lets; they have 4 legs, breathe with lungs and lose their tails.
Finally, the frog-let becomes into an adult frog who lives on land.

G gis for Grasshopper

The life cycle of grasshoppers starts from the egg

stage. By the summer, the eggs hatch into nymphs.

After 30 days, the wings are developed and the

nymphs mature into adults.

H his for Hippopotamus

Baby hippos are born in the water and start swimming

right away. When hippos are 3 weeks old, the hippos stop

nursing from their mothers and begin to eat grass. At the

age of 8, the hippos leave their mothers to live on their

own.

I iis for Impala

Impalas have babies in the months of March and May. The female

impala isolates herself from the herd to give birth. After a gestation

period that lasts up to two hundred days, the calf is born. After five

months, the calf grows and becomes and adult impala.

J jis for Jaguar

After one hundred days of mating the female jaguar will have

one to four kittens. The kittens are born with their eyes closed.

Usually the kittens begin to hunt when they are six months old.

Lastly, jaguars have a lifespan of twenty years.

K kis for Kangaroo

bean. The second stage is the joey, this is when the

adult kangaroo which are 6 years old and weigh about

200 pounds.
