The behavior of an amphibian hatchling, commonly referred to as a tadpole, is controlled by a few thousand neurons. [4] 99% of a Xenopus hatchling's first day after hatching is spent hanging from a thread of mucus secreted from near its mouth will eventually form; if it becomes detached from this thread, it will swim back and become reattached, usually within ten seconds.

Another example is the blue wildebeest, the calves of which can stand within an average of six minutes from birth and walk within thirty minutes; [5] [6] they can outrun a hyena within a day. [ 7 ] [ 8 ] [ 9 ] Such behavior gives them an advantage over other herbivore species and they are 100 times more abundant in the Serengeti ecosystem than ...
The hatchlings, if healthy upon hatching, are able to leave on their own and make the trek to the ocean just like non-hatchery born turtles. Sea turtle hatcheries are usually successful in producing more turtles than untouched nests. [16] Turtle hatcheries have ethical concerns brought on by the public.
A hatchling still possesses a yolk sac upon which it depends for nutrition, and are thus also known as a sac fry.

With an increase in available mates in some birds (such as the rock sparrow), female desertion rate increases leading to more mono-parental care. When female rock sparrows were exposed to an abundant number of male mates approximately 50% of the females deserted their first nest when the hatchlings were on average 14.3 days old.

The traditional modes of reproduction include oviparity, taken to be the ancestral condition, traditionally where either unfertilised oocytes or fertilised eggs are spawned, and viviparity traditionally including any mechanism where young are born live, or where the development of the young is supported by either parent in or on any part of their body.
