Happy Mother's day!

[Catherine]

Happy Mother's day to all the moms out there and happy mother's day to all the animal moms.
In honour of the animal moms I have found a list of animal moms whose kids stick around a long time.

As always it turns out that animal moms are the best.
This is my best animal mom. Caitrin has many beautiful children and she is always the first to lay eggs each year.


It won't be long before she is a grandmother. Maybe not this year, but definitely next year.



This is Kateri with her first clutch of eggs.




Notice how carefully they wrap around the eggs so they can lay the whole clutch without damaging any of the eggs. Snakes are good moms in their own way. 

Once the eggs are settled the mom leaves them so they can grow in peace. If she stayed with them she might damage the egg or injure the baby. Her care comes in choosing a good place to lay her eggs. 

All moms do what they can for their children. Whether it is staying with them for years or leaving them to hatch alone, they deserve to be recognized as good moms. I hope they all enjoy their day in what ever way will make them happy.
