Protective mothers and abortive mothers

This is what motherhood is supposed to be:

  1. When I read the article, there was a link to a video of a mother dolphin carrying its dead baby.

    It reminded me of another video I recently saw which might be a a different video of the same "grieving" dolphin. With other dolphins guarding mother and dead child.

    The commentary on this second video is better.
    But the first video has a clearer picture of the dead baby dolphin.

    It looks like the mother dolphin is exhausted trying to keep the baby afloat in hopes of it reviving.

    It's sad that animals can be more caring for their young than human mothers who abort their own children. :´^(
