  • @rachelmariecaberapacheco7942

    Human babies can be pathetic, but that is their secret weapon, let me explain, human babies have this sweet smell on them, that make adults to be like, "Aaaaw, is so cute, I want to keep you safe!", well it not only happen to humans, some animals in the wild, like wolves for example, may find a human toodler or baby and in some cases, they take the infant in, they get all like the wolves in Storks, "Is so cute, lets keep it and protect it!", making then more easy for the baby to survive, sure they are pathetic, but is what draws other humans and even animals to want to protect it...

    This isn't fair though, not all parents have a comfortable life, so sometimes the baby starves, and also those animals went through many generations of evolution so they are fine tuned to do what they do, also animals like the turtles that were left to fend for themselves when they were born are at least able to do so, unlike we humans who are completely reliant on our parents when we were born, and not all parents know how to properly take care of a child.
