National Geographic has published a new book celebrating animal mothers and the love they have for their offspring, just in time for Mother’s Day!
Mother’s Love: Inspiring True Stories from the Animal Kingdom by Melina Gerosa Bellows features heartwarming tales that show there is no stronger power on Earth than a mother’s love, even among our winged and four-footed friends.
From a mother duck who tugged at a pedestrian’s pant leg with her beak to get help for her ducklings who had fallen through a sewer grate to an elephant that stood on her hind legs to lift her baby to safety in a flooded river to the cat that ran into a burning building five times to rescue her month-old kittens — despite singed fur, scorched ears and blistered eyes — Mother’s Love tells of heroic and touching animal feats that prove humans are not the only ones who go to elaborate lengths for the sake of their young.
