It is so lovely to see animals taking care of other species like they do with their own. For instance, a gorilla named Koko couldn’t become a mother herself, so she shared her motherly love with purring kittens! Or a kitten that is so in love with a duck that it cleans him every day. Animals in this article give a new definition to the word “parenting.”

When we saw these pics, we couldn’t help but share this article with our readers. Bright Side proves that a caregiver’s love has no boundaries!
