A nidicolous animal is an animal that appears undeveloped at birth and stays at their birthplace for a long time, due to their dependence on the parents for feeding, protection and learning survival skills. They are the opposite of nidifugous species who leave their parents more quickly and survive independently. Another pair of terms to describe this developmental phenomenon, altricial and precocial, is also used by scientists.
