How do grizzly bears raise their young?

What animal represents a father?
Eagle: The eagle is a solar animal, and so it shares father energy with the sun. As father symbols go, the eagle is sacred to the father gods Zeus and Jupiter. In myth and many cultures the eagle carries fatherly meanings such as virility, clarity, focus, power, dependability and virtue.
Can humans reproduce asexually?
While parthenogenesis makes it possible for females to reproduce without males, males have no way to reproduce without females. Therefore, once sex has evolved and males are present in the population, those males will try to mate, even with reluctant females that might have done better to clone themselves.
Are sharks asexual?
Some vertebrate species have the ability to reproduce asexually even though they normally reproduce sexually. These include certain sharks, turkeys, Komodo dragons, snakes and rays. There are very few reports of asexual reproduction occurring in females with previous sexual histories, says Dudgeon.
Do sharks change gender?
Over a lifetime, in fact, sharks may go through thousands of teeth. Other scientists believe that the big sharks, like some other species, change sex when they reach a certain size: males become females. The switch may ensure survival by allowing the largest, most experienced sharks to give birth to young.
Are jellyfish asexual?
Jellyfish reproduce both sexually and asexually. One generation (the medusa) reproduces sexually and the next generation (the polyp) reproduces asexually.
What is the lifespan of a jellyfish?
Most jellyfish are short lived. Medusa or adult jellyfish typically live for a few months, depending on the species, although some species can live for 2-3 years in captivity. Polyps can live and reproduce asexually for several years, or even decades. One jellyfish species is almost immortal.
