Mother And Baby Animal Photography

There's nothing quite like a mothers love and moms from the animal kingdom are no exception. These photos are wonderful and some are funny! It's times like these that remind us of the sincere innocence that animals possess. These "animals" are not different at all from us "humans" and in some cases are more humane than humans. As a Child if I had a choice between any god and my Mother I choose my Mother, In fact as a grown man I would still make the same choice. Whatever anyone's god may be will always take a back seat to any mother in my eyes.

 A fistful of mother's skin and hair keeps one-year-old Bekti aloft as she rides on Beth, who is hurtling herself through the forest.

However, by the early 1900s, unchecked trapping, poisoning, and hunting of these highly intelligent predators drove the species to the brink of extinction.
