AnimalLifeCyclesEd2 PDF

Hello! Thank you for downloading my Animal Life Cycles learning materials.
I create this material for my son who

loves animals and loves to learn anything about them. We use this file for our Animal Kingdom study and learning
about the different type of Vertebrate animals. To know more on how we use this printable, visit my blog
www.pinayhomeschooler.com
The file contains the life cycle of:

Chicken for birds
Dog and Kangaroo (mammal with a pouch) for mammals
Snake for reptiles
Salmon for fish
Frog for amphibians
Grasshopper, ladybug, butterfly, ant, dragonfly and honey bee for insects
The presentation of the life cycle comes in different forms so you can just choose the kind of presentation you like
and print it.
Please note that this file should NOT be shared through email and file sharing sites. If someone wishes to have a
copy kindly direct them to my shop or blog. This file is for private personal use only. The pictures that were used

shells. They lay their eggs on land in holes
or nests. Most female snakes lay about 10

The male and female snake mate, or make

babies. The female snake will make a nest
to get ready for the eggs to be laid. She will

Life Cycle of a Dog
Newborn dogs
All newborn dogs are born blind and deaf

until they reach a certain age. They heavily
depend on their mother in this period.
Senses such as smell, touch and taste begin
to develop.
Adult dog Baby dogs
During the initial month of the baby dogs
lives, there's no need to feed them anything
other than the milk they get straight from
their mother.
A young dog continues to grow along with

his social learning. He will also have high
energy levels at this point, and will have
also reached his sexual maturity.
The adult age of a fully matured dog occurs

when he is around 2 years old. His senior
years start when he is around 7 years old.
During these stages, the dog has become
fully matured, independent and responsible.

Life Cycle of a Ladybird
Eggs
In spring, the ladybird

lays her eggs here and there in plants. The
eggs are yellow or orange in color. As soon

shed its skeleton skin several times, it hangs

corner and condenses itself into a sub-

After a few days, the pupa burst open and a

full grown ladybird emerges. Newly
emerged ladybirds are bright yellow. But

The ants eggs are very small objects oblong

Ant Larvae
Ants larvae are translucent creatures and

The queen lays eggs which are mighty tiny.

The queen lays a single egg in each cell of

brood.
Honey Bee Larva

The larvae which now is a little white grub

secreted by the worker bees called the royal

This is the non-feeding stage. At this stage,
