Everything in nature offers us extraordinary lessons. And it makes us think about who designed it so perfectly, so harmoniously.

For example, when we look at the animal kingdom and observe the maternal love that there is.

Even when talking about ferocious animals, we find that they all have the most tender affection for their cubs.

Animal mothers are creatures concerned about their offspring. They dedicate time to teaching them about life and do everything to protect them.

The female polar bear is an example of a mother attached to her cubs. Before they are born, she prepares a kind of cradle, digging a protected place in the snow.

The babies are usually twins and are born between December and January, when it is winter in the northern hemisphere, and she warms them with her body and breastfeeding.

Between March and April, they leave their shelter in the snow to get used to the outside temperatures.

After acclimatizing, they begin learning to hunt. She prepares them for the world they will face, although they stay with her until they are about two years old.

In the African elephant family, as we know, we find the demanding type of mother. Like her, the entire herd must pay attention to the offspring.

On the other hand, the older elephants slow down, establishing the rhythm of the herd in their wanderings, so that the little ones can keep up.

How much care. How much attention.

When we talk of the cheetah mother, we find out in her the mark of independence. She raises her babies alone, isolated from other animals of her species.

She usually moves the litter, which varies between two and five cubs, every four days, preventing that the animals' scent leave traces and attract predators.

After eighteen months of training techniques such as hunting, the cheetah cubs finally leave their mothers. Then, they form a group of siblings that remains together for about another six months.

Of all animal species, however, it is the orangutan mother who demonstrates maintaining a bond with her offspring for the longest time.

Something similar to humans. The baby orangutan depends on its mother for everything in the first two years of life.

It is she who carries and feeds it. It stays with the mother until it is six or seven years old. During this period, she teaches the baby where to find food, how to eat, and even how to make a shelter to sleep in.

Female orangutans continue to visit their mothers until they are about fifteen years old.

It is impossible not to contemplate all this wonder of maternal love among animals and not find the Divine Presence.

A presence that means the preservation of the species. But with something very strong, which shows of into care, affection, and attention.

Who among us has not observed a dog with her puppies pulling her ears, jumping on her, biting her lightly, in play?

And she remains there, calm, as if she were thinking: They are just children. They like to play. They will grow up soon.

What patience.

Certainly, in all this, in addition to the great lesson of Divine Wisdom that arranged everything in a masterful way, the greatest lesson of love, which we must develop in ourselves.

Let's think about it.
