Why birds don\u2019t have teeth<\/strong><\/p>\n

News:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Recently a research paper published Biology Letters suggests that birds lost their teeth during the process of egg hatching.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Important facts:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. The reports suggest that the birds actually losse their teeth to speed up egg hatching.<\/li>\n
    2. The research has compared the incubation period for dinosaur eggs which take several months while modern birds hatch after few days or weeks.<\/li>\n
    3. Hatching occurs before because there is no need to wait for the embryo to develop teeth where a process consumes 60% of egg incubation time.<\/li>\n
    4. The embryo birds is vulnerable to predators and natural disasters<\/li>\n
    5. The faster hatching of eggs result in boosting the survival odds for all egg layered embryo including dinosaurs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Note<\/strong>: In mammals, embryos are protected inside the mother.<\/p>\n
