Day
6: Wrinkled Skin
Look closely
at the skin on these babies.
Q: Why do you think the babies' skin is so wrinkled? (Answer
under photo.)
A.
Baby birds grow VERY fast. They grew a bit of extra skin from the start
so that when they hatch and start eating and start growing, they won't
burst out!! They grow into their skin.
