A mammal that nourishes its unborn offspring through a placenta in the uterus

Real World Example

Imagine trying to keep a phone charged throughout the day without plugging it into a wall socket. Just like a portable power bank keeps your phone charged by supplying it energy on the go, a placental mammal nourishes its unborn offspring by providing nutrients and oxygen through the placenta in the uterus. In this analogy, the phone represents the unborn offspring, the power bank is akin to the placenta, and the energy transfer is similar to the nutrients and oxygen being delivered from the mother to the offspring, ensuring continuous support and development.
