For well over, at least 500 hundred million years of evoluion in the animal kindom has resulted in mechinism that are unique to each specie and aimed at facilitating the continued evolution of that specie. For example, parental behaivor of birds is wired into their nervious system and is seen in the care and feeding of the young. From the moment the eggs are laid to the time when the young bird can strike out on it’s own, the parents nuture, guard and watchover the offspring. In this image, a mature bueatful Yellow Crown Night Heron is standing guard over its offspring that for all the world, looks like ball of feathers with a eyes and a beak. In only a few months, that ugly ball of feathers will be transformed into a beautiful Yellow Crown Night Heron just like it’s parents.
