There's just something magical about the bond between a mother and her child.
Even in the animal kingdom, motherhood is a wonderfully beautiful and important thing. The bond that animals share with their young is just incredible to behold.
So, in celebration of mothers everywhere, of all shapes, sizes, and species, please look through the adorable pictures below of mothers with their babies!
From sweet little kittens to ferocious alligators, a mother will do whatever it takes to protect her young and make sure they have the best possible chance in life that she can give them.
Mothers are a special breed of people, their willingness to sacrifice their own comfort in order to make their children's lives better is a truly amazing occurrence on this beautiful planet. Mothers from all around the globe should get more than one special day of thanks!
A mother's sacrifice deserves only two words: "Thank you!"
