carry

Sometimes, animal mommas need breaks too. And when they're babies are too tired to walk on their own, other animals and humans come to the rescue. Such is the case with these donkey nannies carrying newborn little lambs on their especially-made saddles, and the lambs look so content and happy, we cannot help but smile. 

Laying in their little pockets and looking ready for a nap, these little lambs are some of the most adorable we've ever seen. Each one of them has the cutest itty bitty face in the world, and their mommas look just as happy as their lambs to finally be getting their well-earned break.

We all know that there's something special about being held in your mother's arms. It's a unique kind of soft and warm. It makes us feel protected even now that we're older but especially when we were little babies. 

It's the same for animals. For them too, there is something special about being held and carried by mom, whether it's dogs or cats or swans. And since we all feel like we could use a hug right about now, and there's nothing better in the world than a big strong hug from mom, we've brought you some of the most wholesome and sweetest pictures we could find of mother's love in nature in the form of little tiny baby swans getting carried around and being sheltered by their mommas.
