Precocial Development is a biological developmental strategy, classified under ontogenetic variation, in which offspring are born in an advanced state capable of autonomous locomotion and independent behavior shortly after birth, distinguishing it from altricial development by the degree of prenatal maturation and reduced postnatal dependency.
