Creative Mother's Day captions for Instagram
Instead of all that talk about flowers, you can acknowledge a mother's love with fascinating animal mom facts like these.
- Mother giraffes are always on their guard, protecting their calves (baby giraffes). They will only get about 30 minutes of sleep a day, and just for a few minutes at a time!
- Each night before going to sleep gorillas make a cozy bed out of leaves. Gorilla moms share these nests with their nursing babies
- Mother cats are called queens
- The mother gazelle helps its baby stand up on its feet, just moments after it's born! She will hide her baby in tall grasses while she grazes, and come back to feed it every few hours.
