19 Photos Proving That Motherhood Is a Magical Experience, No Matter the Species

Motherhood is one of the most magical experiences there are. It’s practically impossible to describe the wide range of emotions you go through to a person who’s never been in this position. And those feelings are not limited to humans only: look at the moms belonging to other biological species, and you’ll see that they are tender and loving as well.

We at Now I’ve Seen Everything found some photos of animal moms that can melt the coldest of hearts.

1. Dog mama and her baby look so cute! It’s like a mini version of her.

2. “My foster mama kitty and her four biological babies... plus a bonus baby!”

3. These 3 tawny frogmouth birds, tho...

4. “Found a kitten that we named Wonton at 3 weeks old. My dog, Polly, immediately took over the mothering role. They’re inseparable.”

5. “Daughter and mother, 19 and 20”
