Summary
Some animals, like hamsters and skinks, occasionally eat their young as a survival strategy. This behavior helps manage litter size or respond to threats, ensuring the mother's resources are focused on the surviving offspring. Such actions, while shocking to humans, can enhance reproductive success in various species.
