Yes.
That's only in the DiC cartoon, not in the main games.
How is he a child?
Each one of these drawings represents a game that Yoshi's in. Try to guess them all.
Keep in mind, the Yoshi you know to this day, as in the one who hangs out with Mario is not the same one in Yoshi's Island. Yoshi's Island DS makes this evident as a Baby Yoshi is born at the end of that game. I'd say he's the same age as Mario. (Around 24 to 26)
When those of youth are exhausted they transform into their initial form. An egg.
This egg transformation technique is also handy for a self defense mechanism or when one is in danger
If for whatever reason someone throws the Yoshi while within its egg, the egg will not take any damage nor show any dents.
After the prepubescent dinosaur is finished with its snooze it spontaneously cracks out of the egg as the egg can only be destroyed from the inside.
This repeated hatching cycle will continue until they reach 3 years of age.
Thank you very much for reading. May good dreams visit you soon.
Y'know. Honestly Yoshi shouldn't be with anyone.
Yeah. So? Birdo would be the best fit. Also, Wendy is most likely a child, so big NO NO.
Why would you ship Yoshi with humans. That's weird.
