Birth

Da Vinci is considered to be a key person in the birth of the European Renaissance, which saw an emergence of new ideas, scientific discoveries and the creation of beautiful art.

This enterprise soon took off, and over time it evolved into the Airbnb we have today, with a little cheeky nod to its birth all those years ago, still in its name.

She gave birth to the entanglement of kittens on August 7, 1970 in her owner's home in Oxfordshire, UK.

Of the fifteen kittens that survived birth, just one of them was female!

She lived with her owners in Bonham, Texas, where she gave birth to the world-record-holding number of kittens.

They give birth to baby hippos in the water, too.

Both reproduction and birth occur in the water.

Soon after birth, mother and young join schools that provide some protection against crocodiles, lions, and hyenas.

New-born horses can walk shortly after birth.

Two or more lionesses in a group tend to give birth around the same time, and the cubs are raised together.

When the female is close to giving birth, it leaves the group for a time to give birth to its offspring, and comes back 2-3 weeks after her baby is born.

After a pregnancy of 14-15 months, the female gives birth to usually a single baby (which is called "calf").

Giraffes give birth while standing, so the baby falls down 2 metres.

In this region, parents that give birth to a son and then daughter are considered to be among the luckiest people in the world.

They can stand and walk just a few hours after birth.

Calves are about six feet tall at birth.
