Description: | The chicks of the Great Crested Grebe are precocial. This means that shortly after hatching they are independent - the chicks can swim and dive like the adults. Whilst the chicks are small, the adults often carry them on their backs as they swim around. As the chicks grow larger, they begin to take on a more adult appearance and lose their distinctive black and white striped plumage. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | animals North East natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
