Being An Otter Mom Is A Full-Time Job
Being a human mother is a full-time job, but what about being an otter mother? It’s the same! “Mothers spend up to 14 hours per day foraging to support a pup’s intense nutrition needs. This high demand leaves otter mothers depleted, and many die from minor illnesses. They do it all on their own, with no help from their fathers. The babies will also rest on the mother’s bellies until they can swim. The mothers provide full-time care for their babies for six to eight months, until the babies can survive independently”. The mothers risk their lives just to make sure their babies survive. That’s unconditional love, right there. (Tree Hugger)
