pregnancy

No matter how much knowledge we have about nature, every once in a while, something will shock us and remind us how amazing nature actually is. Whether it's the incredible bonds between animals, whether it's coming across a list of beautiful animals with unusual color mutations, or whether it's something as simple yet as amazing as seeing the way pregnancies look like in nature. 

Even thought every birth of an endangered animal is something that we celebrate, the actual is something that we, for whatever reason, haven't thought about very often. But, this viral thread on imgurhas opened our eyes, and has made us have a whole new appreciation for the heartwarming relationships between animal mommas and their babies.

The animals with the longest gestation periods are typically quite large, with elephants, rhinos, and massive ocean creatures often carrying offspring for lengthy periods. However, that's not always the case. There are many factors that play into gestation length, and scientists are still working to uncover some of the miracles of childbirth in the wild. Extended animal pregnancies can often be risky, but these mothers still do what it takes to give their babies the best life imaginable.
