Mothers always always show their love no matter what species they are.

Warning: Cute pictures ahead. 😛

The Mother Elephant leading her baby by the trunk is my favorite. The Mother otter carrying her baby in the water is another one.  
Really, they all made me smile. 😃

These photos make me smile. I enjoy sharing them.

I setup the mama and baby elephant as my desktop wallpaper at my job. I’ll rotate it with the other animal mom photos that I saved at least until Mothers Day.

Awww! Sea otter cubs are even cuter than sea otters. And that’s hard to be!

Very cute - but it being the Daily Mail I expected it to be accompanied by comments on how quickly mama lion has got her svelte figure back, while mama bear isn’t afraid to flaunt her post-baby curves!
