A

Who takes care of young animals until they are old enough to care for themselves? Different animals have different ways to care for their young.

The female(雌的) bear feeds, protects, and teaches her babies for over a year. The male (雄的) bear does not like the babies and will make them die. So the mother must keep the babies away from their father.

Among some living things, it is the father who is in charge of the young. The male stickleback(棘鱼) builds a nest (窝，巢) in weeds (水草). As soon as the female has laid eggs in the nest, she leaves. The male stickleback guards the eggs. After the eggs hatch(孵化), the male cares for the young fish. If they go too far from the nest, their father carries them back in his mouth.

Wolves live together as a family. Both parents help take care of the young. Both bring food to the young and show them how to catch animals for food. Both father and mother fight to protect their young against bears or other animals.
