Maternity Den
A maternity den, in the animal kingdom, is a lair where the mother gives birth and nurtures the young, when they are in a vulnerable life stage. While such dens are typically subterranean, they may also be snow caves or simply beneath rock ledges. Characteristically there is an entrance, and optionally an exit corridor, in addition to a principal chamber. Examples Polar bear The polar bear (''Ursus maritimus'') creates a maternity den either in an earthen subterranean or in a snow cave. On the Hudson Bay Plain in Manitoba, Canada, many of these subterranean dens are situated in the Wapusk National Park, from which bears migrate to the Hudson Bay when the ice pack forms. The maternity den is the bear's shelter for most of the winter. Wild dogs Pack members may guard the maternity den used by the alpha female; such is the case with the African wild dog, ''Lycaon pictus''. Brown hyena The brown hyena (''Parahyaena brunnea'') makes use of maternity dens as a means of nu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
