Motherhood Knows No Boundaries
It is not uncommon for an orphaned calf to be found swimming around its mother even after an untimely death. According to researchers from the "Dolphin Research Center" (http://www.dolphins.org) over one half of the premature, or injury based deaths of the mothers with young calves is due to the mother protecting her young from harm or danger. The end result; she gave her life for her young.
Just as ape, chimpanzee, cat, dog, and human mothers, dolphin mothers love, care, teach, discipline and protect their young. Motherhood is an instinct that is apparent in numerous species. Being a mother takes patience, time and understanding. Whether on land, or at sea, motherhood knows no boundaries.
