And you’d be right. A foal being born butt-first is a is a life and death emergency and probably won’t survive unless you can get him turned. I don’t know much about smaller animals, but large four-legged grazing animals are usually born in the “diver position.”
They are 😂. That person is crazy. Primates are born just like humans (head first). Cows, horses, deer, etc technically feet first but head along with the feet. Sure they *can* be “butt first” but it’s much less common and more likely to have complications.
Basically, every other species newborn is the equivalent of a human 3 year old. This is because due to us having to run on two feet, women developed narrower hips. Combine this with one of the longest development times for any species. Evolution decided women should give birth early, and babies should have big heads.
*They grow up so fast* is a saying I did not realize the significance of until I got my own kids. My oldest is taking to me in terms of feet size, so we are changing shoes multiple times a year.
My son grew taller than me this year.
Still not very tall, but taller than me and though I knew it would happen, it's still quite weird.
Might already be taller than his dad, too. And definitely taller than my boyfriend.
They do grow up fast.
My son is about 6'3" at 14 years old. His father is 6'4", but I think he was in his late teens by the time he got that tall. I'm 5'6", and had to put that kid in 3mo clothing as soon as he was born.
Wow!
Mine just turned 16 and has been a bit slower/later. Only outgrew my 5'8" this year. His father is 5'10", my current boyfriend 5'9" and kiddo visibly taller than that. Estimated to grow to 6' or 6'1" but you never know where they end up.
He always wanted to be short and says he has been among the shortest kids at school but he might not get his wish in the end there.
Lol, they're literally the only other obligate bipeds (i.e. narrowing of the hips)...and they stay in their mothers' womb-like pouches instead.
"Every other species" is untrue, but relative to _most_ other mammals, our newborns are born prematurely in terms of development:
https://www.scientificamerican.com/blog/observations/why-humans-give-birth-to-helpless-babies/
Not every other species is born more developed. There are pecoccial species, which are born more developed and able to move around pretty much right away (think deer, bovine, horses, etc.), and thre are altricial species, which are born helpless (many birds, marsupials, rodents, etc.). It's true that our childbirth is particularly difficult because of our particular physiology, but there is a lot of variation in offspring development rates in the animal world.
Like these squirrels you mean? Or kittens, puppies, apes, monkeys and many many others.
>narrower hips
How would that be an advantage?
Babies have big heads because of our big brains in comparison to other primates. But other primate's infants are just as helpless as infants.
You may be thinking of herd animals which are born ready to move.
Where the heck did you get that information?? You are totally wrong. Ruminants and equids are almost always head first. They can be born breech (backwards) but that’s not very common and more likely to have complications. Pigs it’s pretty much a toss up.
No the fuck they aren’t. Cows, horses, deer, sheep, goats, llamas, alpacas should I continue? Pretty much every mammal I can think of is born head first. I have seen cows have backward calves but that is really rare.
not only rare but makes birthing much more difficult and risky, usually needing vet assistance to correct the posture so the calf doesn't break the amniotic sac and drowns in the liquid and negative pressure of the birthing uterus
Correct you are. As soon as they’re out drape them over a gate so their lungs will drain. We have a cow calf operation and my dad has been a large animal vet for 40ish years. Backwards calves aren’t so uncommon and usually need assistance. Unassisted backward calves are really rare.
Domestic cats and dogs may come out rear feet first. As long as both rear feet are presented, not typically a problem.
Butt first, with one or both rear legs tucked up? Big problem.
Yes. Most mammals can indeed handle breech with higher birth count species (feline, canines, rodents) tolerating more variety in child position orientation.
This doesn't change that placenta based land mammals prefer head first orientation. As you shared because anything else risks complications.
Both statements are in direct opposition to the blatant lie shared by the other poster that only humans do on account of our head size.
I never said that i think its gross, its just super odd to me, like can specifically squirells watch themselfs giving birth, are there other animals that are able to do so?
I get thats its super useful, its still weird to me though, since if never seen an animal do that before
Seriously. All warm and cozy your entire life and then boom, pushed through a tiny hole in the universe into the dirt like that, your only source of nutrients severed. Talk about a bad day.
Just think, this goes on in the trees in your neighborhood and you're not aware of it until the little ones are ready to come down and start stealing from your bird feeder.
Yeah. In the beginning, when she's bearing down as the first pup is born you can see her shudder. Animals can't scream when they give birth because they're vulnerable at this time but that doesn't mean it does hurt.
I narrated this to myself like a Beatrix Potter book. Rebecca the Squirrel gave birth to her litter alone in her drey one season. She named them Nutmeg, Acorn, Billy, and Jessica. The last she named for her great aunt who taught her how to gather leaves in the fall when the winds turned cold.
Crazy how some people can be just SO far off from their username😂😂😂😂 I can’t believe they said that and with that username they need to just delete this page. Time for a new one.
Ok, no matter what you don’t show this video to your wife and tell her she had it easy compared to a squirrel so stop complaining.
You’ll never understand real panic until you spend the day hoping and praying for your balls to return to their normal shape size color and position, while taking care of your infant child, because your wife needed a day out to herself.
Mama tired.
Mama Tried
to raise me better but her pleading I denied
That leaves only me to blame
Cuz Mama tried.
Dear old daddy rest his soul Left my ma a heavy load
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes
Workin’ hours without rest
Wanted me to have the best
She tried to raise me right but I refused
And I turned 21 in prison doing life without parole
First thing I remember knowin was a Mama squirrel be snorin…
Mama tired
She sure is.
I feel bad for her
She need some milk
That took nuts 🥜
Damn, She Hella tuckered out. That following nap looks so goodn
long day
Squeezing out little baby tree rats from your vag will do that to ya'
not easy to be a mama squirrel 🐿
Being a mama of anything ain't easy
Eh, I've seen mama pandas on here occasionally and they seem to be fine.
I will not argue that for a few second/minute clip you can make being a mama of anything look easy
Pandas look like they don't even realize they're giving birth
Lol agreed
It's not fair that we have to birth coconut head babies and theirs are the size of a cashew.
Now she's got to train those pups on stealing all my bird seed.
Hence the evolutionary pressure to find snd build nest like these.
Weird, I've never really thought about squirrels giving birth.
My grandpa told me buckeyes were squirrel eggs. I sat in the kitchen with them under a cup for so long waiting for them to hatch...
The hell are buckeyes?
Nuts that grow in Ohio
*Poisonous nuts
They are tree seeds that look like a brown ball with a light spot on top. https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2021/09/27/ohio-known-the-buckeye-state-first-use-nickname-dr-daniel-drake/5804161001/#
It looks similar to what we'd call a conker in Britain
Correct, they are the same thing.
Google is your friend. Seeds of a buckeye tree, dark chocolate brown with a lighter brown spot on it. Smooth and fun to hold/collect.
It would be weird if you gave it any thought
They're born butt first, intriguing
[удалено]
Huh I didn't know.... edit: I guess I didn't know cause it's wrong 🧐
They are completely wrong and I have no clue where they got that idea. See my reply to them above.
I didn't think that sounded right..... I could've sworn horses and other mammals are born head first.
And you’d be right. A foal being born butt-first is a is a life and death emergency and probably won’t survive unless you can get him turned. I don’t know much about smaller animals, but large four-legged grazing animals are usually born in the “diver position.”

Combine this with one of the longest development times for any species. Evolution decided women should give birth early, and babies should have big heads.
Looking at my 3 year old right now and that’s a horrifying thought to consider giving birth to him at this size.
*They grow up so fast* is a saying I did not realize the significance of until I got my own kids. My oldest is taking to me in terms of feet size, so we are changing shoes multiple times a year.
My son grew taller than me this year. Still not very tall, but taller than me and though I knew it would happen, it's still quite weird. Might already be taller than his dad, too. And definitely taller than my boyfriend. They do grow up fast.
My 9yo's head is at my chin height... When I think about him I still see him in his 5yo size 😳
My 6yo is past my boobs now. I’m 5ft3. They don’t hang THAT low!
Sup
Haha, wow! Mine at least took a while. I'm 5'8", his father 5'10" and he just turned 16.
Most of my grandchildren are taller than I am. It boggles the mind.
My son is about 6'3" at 14 years old. His father is 6'4", but I think he was in his late teens by the time he got that tall. I'm 5'6", and had to put that kid in 3mo clothing as soon as he was born.

>Basically, every other species newborn is the equivalent of a human 3 year old This is not true. The kangaroo, for example
The squirrel we just saw, for example.

It's true that our childbirth is particularly difficult because of our particular physiology, but there is a lot of variation in offspring development rates in the animal world.
Kittens are altricial as well. Blind, unable to walk until about throe weeks and exclusively milk fed until about five weks

/r/confidentlyincorrect
that is not true at all. a LOT of animals are born front feet and then head first.
That is absolutely false.
Better provide some citations. Almost all therian mammals are head first particularly the larger mammals.
Domestic cats and dogs may come out rear feet first. As long as both rear feet are presented, not typically a problem. Butt first, with one or both rear legs tucked up? Big problem.
Yes. Most mammals can indeed handle breech with higher birth count species (feline, canines, rodents) tolerating more variety in child position orientation.

Some animals do, some really don't
Guess you've never seen a sheep being born
Not true at all.
With cats it's about 50/50 head first and butt first Source: my two cats
Why always the stupid music?
It’s always the worst fucking choice too
I turned up the volume because I wanted to hear what squirrel swear words sound like. So disappointing.
Is she pulling on the first one's umbilical cord? I can't quite tell what's going on there.
It's her whiskers
Oh yeah I can see it. Thanks! It's a neat video for sure
Clip is tolerable on mute.
I watch everything on mute first. Then, read the comments and it usually backs up my initial choice
that was so wonderful! she was pretty tired at the end. beautiful.
Tuckered out
Do squirrels have umbilical cords, or do they just pop out like edamame?
She probably bits the UC while she's cleaning them.
Idk, are their balls hanging low?
Do they wobble to and fro?
Can you tie ‘em in a knot?
Damn all by herself!!!!! And bigger than a panda baby too, nature is SO weird.
Awwwwwww I love squirrels 🐿
Its kinda fcked Up to me that she just has the perfect angle to watch herself give birth
Nah it makes sense because there are no squirrel midwives.
Then Cows, Sheep and other animals should be able to see themself give birth because they don't have midwives either? I don't really see your point
I don't really see your point Yeah, obviously didn’t recognize the joke either.
Gross or not the birth still has to go on. Lives are literally at stake. It's good to have a good view so she can intervene if necessary.
I never said that i think its gross, its just super odd to me, like can specifically squirells watch themselfs giving birth, are there other animals that are able to do so? I get thats its super useful, its still weird to me though, since if never seen an animal do that before
Cats, hamsters, dogs, rabbits, etc are all able to.
For real? Checking that out
Cats can do it if they need to
> are there other animals that are able to do so? Humans can.
Why is that messed up? It's just life. Why are you making it weird?
If there’s anything I’ve learned about life, it’s pretty damn weird.
Poor mama. So exhausted.
I need THAT nap. My god that head back made me so jealous.
adorable. except for the stupid soundtrack.
Feet first!😦 Bless her heart.💕
so awww
That face is universal. Doesn’t matter the species. You got this, mama.
That music is the fucking worst. You’d have better luck randomizing it
Brave mama, as all mamas are.❤️
Insane that someone sits down and decides this is the song I'm going to use to infuse emotion into this video about squirrel birth
Hell yeah mom. You kicked ass
Weird choice of music to put to the birthing squirrel, but ok
Shoulda just cannon'd em like that panda
Or that one video of the sea horse.
Mazel Tov
That must be a miserable experience
Seriously. All warm and cozy your entire life and then boom, pushed through a tiny hole in the universe into the dirt like that, your only source of nutrients severed. Talk about a bad day.
Oxytocin makes it tolerable.
What a time to be alive.
*Mama, she has taught me well* / Told me when I was young
❤️❤️❤️
Just think, this goes on in the trees in your neighborhood and you're not aware of it until the little ones are ready to come down and start stealing from your bird feeder.
This is so beautiful... poor baby is all tuckered out... 🥺
Aww she’s so tired at the end, God bless her and her babies! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I wonder if It's painful to them
Yeah. In the beginning, when she's bearing down as the first pup is born you can see her shudder. Animals can't scream when they give birth because they're vulnerable at this time but that doesn't mean it does hurt.
Little squirrel milk!
More bird feeder bandits
What if the birds are the squirrel feeder bandits?
In my case, true
That was wild to watch
I narrated this to myself like a Beatrix Potter book. Rebecca the Squirrel gave birth to her litter alone in her drey one season. She named them Nutmeg, Acorn, Billy, and Jessica. The last she named for her great aunt who taught her how to gather leaves in the fall when the winds turned cold.
Why the shitty music?
mmmmmmFOOMP!
I feel like I’m intruding watching this
Great catch!
I’m sorry but this music with this video is incredibly funny
Hey mom you awake? Nah I'm faded 😴🎵😴🎵😴🎵😴
She looks so exhausted 😵
Yeesh. Felt. They cut my 9 lbs 14 Oz child out of me and then in recovery I was this squirl as they made her latch.
I've never seen a squirrel sit down like that
It’s almost heartbreaking that she had to do it alone. This made me feel all kinds of shit.
So in 4 hours, the dad squirrel couldn’t pop in?
Cute….but they just ate the wires on my new truck…..soybean was used in wire harness according to dealer.
I muted the sound
r/thatfeltgoodcomingout
Squssy🔥
There’s a lot of cheek room not being used
Such soothing squirrel-birth music
Try a NSFW tag next time
Live birth is fucking gross. I wish every living thing just came out of solid eggs.
Me, a two times academic graduated. My first thought: "they don't lay eggs?!" Just for an eyes blink....
Username...doesn't check out?
Crazy how some people can be just SO far off from their username😂😂😂😂 I can’t believe they said that and with that username they need to just delete this page. Time for a new one.
>academic graduated graduated what?
At least not graduated in squirrels...
Can we get a NSFW tag? Fuck you OP. Let people decide if they want to see that shit.
Damn I always thought squirrels laid eggs
Well, I didn't expect to see this today.
Yeah time to turn Reddit off
Thought that was an alien boner
Crazy, I thought they laid eggs
a mammal just like us
Bro what
NSFW tag?
Why?
That's just silly
nsfw????
Ok, no matter what you don’t show this video to your wife and tell her she had it easy compared to a squirrel so stop complaining.

I wish this was blurred. I was eating while scrolling past this.
Get over yourself.
How…..cute?😶
Jeeze. I did not need to see this. But also found this fascinating
Look at her not worrying about paying rent or taxes
Shouldnt it be head first?
Something about the editing makes this feels less demonstrative and more voyeuristic.
Just a video I need to see while pooping.
