Motherhood in the Wild

Get ready for Mothers Day by getting to know how animal mothers take care of their babies.

From the jungles to the oceans, from the rainforests to the frozen poles, mothers in the wild can bear some similar resemblances to mothers in the city. They bring us into the world, nurture us, love us, teach us the skills we need to survive and protect us from harm, until we are ready to go off on our own. And with Mother’s Day just around the corner, what better way to celebrate motherhood than by looking at how the motherly instinct runs through the wild.

I shipped my mother a live Polar Bear for mother's day, and she's not answering the phone.

I guess she must be having too good a time to take a break.

I couldn't understand why I kept getting spam for Mother's Day flowers - in the UK it's called Mothering Sunday and this year was on the 22nd of March. Never occured to me that other countries have it on different days, but it turns out that it's very varied...
