prole dependente dos pais Explanation: Uma sugestão. Não estou a ver outra alternativa melhor e mais curta. Altrical/Altricial = Pertaining to offspring that require supervision and care from their parents after birth, where they are supplied with shelter, food and protection. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2005-04-06 04:31:21 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Altricial: Helpless, highly dependent, immature newborns http://www.missouri.edu/~anthmark/courses/mah/glossary.htm Sendo o significado de helpless = desamparado, outra sugestão seria \"prole desamparada\". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2005-04-06 05:14:26 (GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Altricial. Os filhotes altriciais são imaturos e extremamente dependentes de cuidados parentais, nascem com olhos e ouvidos fechados, exibem pouca capacidade motora e se desenvolvem lentamente, tal como filhotes de cães, gatos e várias espécies de roedores |

prole nidícola Explanation: Do Houaiss: nidícola - que nasce indefeso, implume e de olhos fechados, incapaz de se locomover ou de se alimentar sozinho, necessitando permanecer no ninho por um longo período de tempo (diz-se de filhote de ave); altricial. |
