The animal kingdom is full of fascinating creatures with some giving birth to their offspring in the weirdest ways.

For example, marsupials like kangaroos give birth to very undeveloped young.

These tiny offspring are born in an embryonic state and are already equipped with front limbs.

They continue to grow and develop in the pouch, feeding on milk until they are old enough to leave.

In spotted hyena societies, high-ranking females are exposed to high levels of androgen, a male sex hormone.

This leads to the growth of more aggressive, often larger offspring that are better equipped to compete for social status.

A giraffe's birth is notable for the significant fall the baby takes to the ground, about 6.5 feet (2 meters).

This impressive drop ruptures the amniotic sac and helps the baby start breathing, as the shock of the landing stimulates the first breaths.
