Being a parent can be really challenging and demanding. Nevertheless, there are rewarding moments where parents and children bond in an eternal moment. The examples shown below depict beautiful and heart-melting moments from the world of animal parenting.
The remarkable shots show that parental love is a general concept not only experienced by humans. Furthermore, in our popular post “15 Unusual Animal Friendships“, we showed that animals may be far more emotionally complex than many of us believe.
Giraffes, for example are very caring parents. They keep an excellent lookout over the savanna due to their long necks and their hard hooves can deliver a fearsome kick even to lions. Moreover, when a mother giraffe needs to forage, she can leave her baby with a nursery that is always watched over by a female giraffe [1].
