I'm incredibly dumb in biology but the joke is that hienas, hedgehogs and that specific bird species always leave their children alone and stranded after a certain age?

I assume the joke is that they have very difficult birthing processes?

Left to right we have

  • traumatic birth through pseudopenis
  • SPIKEY BABY
  • giant egg

On the porcupine the babies quills, kinda like horse hooves, are soft at first and begin to harden afterwards but aren't super spiky for a few days. But yeah a split psuedo banana and an egg that is almost literally the same size as you aren't picnics
