that they have
paralyzed with their venom and stored in a state of suspended animation so
that their
(15) larvae might have a supply of fresh food when they hatch.

For animals other than mammals, then, feeding is not intrinsic to parental
care. Animals
add it to their reproductive strategies to give them an edge in their lifelong
quest for
descendants. The most vulnerable moment in any animal's life is when it first
finds itself
completely on its own, when it must forage and fend for itself. Feeding
postpones that
(20) moment until a young animal has grown to such a size that it is better able to
cope. Young

that are fed by their parents become nutritionally independent at a much
greater fraction
of their full adult size. And in the meantime those young are shielded against
the vagaries
of fluctuating of difficult-to-find supplies. Once a species does take the step
of feeding its
young, the young become totally dependent on the extra effort. If both parents
are
(25) removed, the young generally do no survive.
