Animal Parents examines how animals care for their young to ensure their survival, care that is as varied as is animal life on earth. The book provides a thorough guide on the behaviour of animal parenting, and helps readers understand how vertebrates raise and nurture their young.

The book examines a wide variety of behaviours, including: fish that carry their eggs in their mouths to protect them; male seahorses that incubate their mate's eggs in a stomach pouch; frogs that make bubble nests to keep their eggs moist; snakes that shiver to raise their body temperature a few degrees to incubate their eggs; birds that bury their eggs in a mound of soil and vegetation, and check the temperature with their beaks, while others shed feathers on their bellies so they can warm their eggs; and mammals that exhibit a wide ranges of behaviours, from species in which babies may be hidden in a den or carried with their mothers, to those that simply leave their offspring on an ice flow.
