課文要點】：brood parasites(孵育寄生動物)：animals that use a unconventional tactic to let other animals hatch their offspring for them。
【教授舉例】：教授以cat fish 如何利用cichlid孵卵為例講解此定義。female cichlid產(chǎn)卵的美女編輯們eggs后，會把它的卵eggs gather，hide在mouth里protect，until they are ready to hatch。female cat fish：sneaker the female cichlid，等cichlid張嘴的時候，cat fish will quickly release their eggs into the water。female cichlid can not tell differences between自己的卵和cat fish的卵。然后就把catfish的eggs gather到自己mouth里hatch了。Catfish就是這樣cat fish take advantages of cichlid to hatch eggs for them.
