No, I don't mean that they think their hatchlings will be safe because they're super-strong. I mean that, like many animals, they just do not care if their children die.

Which goes on to render the point about grieving over miscarriages or stillbirths moot. Animals almost expect their children to die in infancy, so they wouldn't be overly hysterical when their expectations are borne out.
