According to the India-based non-profit organization Wildlife SOS, sloth bears carry their cubs all day until age two. Leopards are the same way. They are very protective of their younglings, who depend on their mothers for basic needs like food, protection, and shelter for the first couple of years of their lives. #4 First Family Photo.

For water birds like jacanas, the male does most of the work, which includes protecting their territory, looking for food, and teaching their younglings survival skills. The female, meanwhile, has several mates and is not at all involved in raising their offspring. #7 Pups Learning Important Life Skills From Mama#8 These Three Tawny Frogmouth BirdsImage credits: WIRES.wildlife.rescue#9 Proud ParentsImage credits: GeniusTokerIt’s almost a similar case with emperor penguins. The fathers usually gather food and teach their young to survive harsh weather conditions. The mothers leave the colony to allow their male counterparts to keep the eggs warm. The division of parental labor among barn owls is more similar to that of humans. The males are hunter-gatherers, while the females nurture and incubate the eggs. #10 Our Cat Ada Gave Birth 2 Days AgoImage credits: redfirearne#11 Baby LambImage credits: AgentKGB#12 Hi There, Little GuyImage credits: won-an-art-contestAlloparenting also happens between animals. Female elephants, being matriarchal in nature, usually become foster parents to newcomers. Similarly, rhesus macaque monkeys form social bonds with each other and can quickly build familial relationships with orphaned babies. #13 Fantastic Fox FamilyImage credits: RROORRYY#14 CutieImage credits: riuttahighland#15 In Istanbul, A Stray Cat Mom Took Her Baby To The ER.
