Natural Sciences 191CNS43 - FYS-Parenting/Animal Kingdom

Let's explore the family lives of wildlife across the animal kingdom. In this course, we will discover why some parents care for their young while others leave them to fend for themselves. Sea turtles lay hundreds of eggs but never meet their young, while songbirds build complicated nests and feed hungry chicks as they grow. By the end of this class, you will understand the different parenting strategies in wildlife, why they developed, and why they continue to persist.

Open to Natural Sciences Freshman with a declared major or on the Natural Sciences Exploratory Track.
