I often feel sympathy for quadrupeds because they can’t hug their babies. This mama looks as though she wants so badly to hold this teeny, tiny* newborn.
*Teeny tiny being relative and all. Small and new to her, hence teeny tiny.
NB: Anthropomorphizing is my favorite pastime. Am I alone in that?
Momma giraffe and baby giraffe pics get me every time. I love when the momma kisses the baby’s head, and when baby looks all clumsy on their new stilts.
Right? Nothing makes me think more highly of mammalian evolution than a giraffe birth. Holy, moly, that’s a long drop. On stilts.
Not alone!
Yay for foisting our baggage on animals!
