Mothers of the Animal Kingdom | BBC Earth

[@letolethe3344]

Here's to great mommies of every species!

[@guavaburst]

When I was 6 years old (many moons ago). At school, every student had to say what we wanted to be when we grew up, I said I wanted to be David Attenborough (I didn't know what his job description was). Mum told me that story when i was 18...

[@falanajerido875]

Wow did you pursue his career?

[@wanimalus]

I am very touched by mother's love. very divine. Yesterday was also my mother's day. I want to send my mother and other mothers in this world happy and forever beautiful.

"Mothers of the Animal Kingdom" refers to the amazing dedication and nurturing instincts displayed by mothers across different species. From the fierce protection offered by lionesses to the gentle care provided by elephants, these mothers show us the power of maternal love. But it's not just about protecting and caring for their young ones - many animal mothers also teach their offspring valuable skills needed for survival. As we celebrate Mother's Day, let's take a moment to appreciate the incredible sacrifices made by all the mothers in the animal kingdom, and indeed, in our own lives.

Baby Hippos are seriously some of the cutest babies ever. I wish that Hippo has been my mom or the Orang would have been too.

[@SKKEarth]

Taking care of their young by mothers is a very miraculous quality in the animal world.Which helps to make life more better.

[@simone222]

Very fitting for the special occasion tomorrow. Thanks for this spectacular feature on the mums of the animal kingdom which shows how selfless and nurturing they are, providing unwavering care for their young. Their love is a wonderful testament to the beauty and resilience of nature. Happy Mum's Day.

Aww, the little squeak the bear cub gives as it drops to the ground....I find bears one of the scariest animals, but their babies are darling.

[@ElephantSoul]

Humans are not the only ones who have the heritage of the environment. Always protect the wild animals

[@twinflowerfioretta]

A splendid filmed docu all about lovely mother instinct. The bear mother with her two cubs surching for crabs to eat, are my fav. 🤩and Sir Attenborough is such famous storyteller,Thy ! BBC Earth 🙏

Today we celebrate World Mother's Day. I think like people, these mothers are also working hard for their children. Isn't it? Many thanks to those who work hard to bring us videos like this. Cheers.

[@DharmaTalksToo]

Regardless of whether it's humans or animals, we can all sense the greatness of maternal love and the preciousness of life. This also leads me to reflect on the underlying reality of our diet, which involves the killing of countless lives. We should avoid consuming or using animals and their offspring, to respect and protect every life more. Each small change we make can contribute to reducing the suffering in this world. ❤ 🙏 🌱

This video was nice, but why were the cat and dog drinking a bowl of milk at the end? Milk isn't good for them when they're adults.

Never knew hippos can’t swim

[@stefanhernold345]

Is his Lordship really telling us that the entire Okavango dries up during the dry season ? At some other point in the video, Attenborough says that the water offers the hippopotamus "safety from predators". 😕 Would an animal that has reason enough to be afraid of wild dawgs, hyenas, leopards and lions, seriously be so foolish as to choose the *water* for its sanctuary ? The truth is: The hippopotamus has proven its defiance in the face of large Nile crocodiles for millions of years - so the occasions on which a hippopotamus falls prey to terrestrial predators is a _quantité négligeable_ if there ever was one. An animal that proved itself to be able to reach a _modus vivendi_ with African crocodiles, certainly doesn`t need the waterways of tropical Africa as a "sanctuary" to hide from lightweights such as wild dawgs, hyenas and leopards whilst even lions have hardly ever managed to bring down any except the most emaciated hippos.

Why wouldn't they just have a dog raise the puppy or hand feed it. That dog is twice as big as the kittens. 🙄 Then they give a cat milk and sick some dogs on it. This is some Milo and Otis type of content. 😬😬😬😬
