Exactly! We should all appreciate and respect our mothers and other peoples mothers, in the humankind and the animal kingdom :)
I am reading this on Mother's Day, and I got super emotional... Isn't it amazing how the bond between a mother and her child is precious In the whole Animal Kingdom??
:)

Awwww... the cutest mother and kid photo. I love giraffes,
Me too! I have a whole folder named "giffs"and it's full of cute giraffe pics.
It's such a pity we don't appreciate every animal on earth. I've read somewhere they are close to extinction. :(
"Giraffes are undergoing a silent extinction, having declined 40 percent over the past 30 years, though few seem to know this. There are fewer giraffes left on this planet than African elephants.” From another article written in 2019. The poachers should be extinct and not those loving creatures :(
That's truly horrible :(
what a sweetie! :3
