Mom & Cub Tiger Hug....cute!

Mom missed out on a meal and after returning to her cubs empty handed, her cub gave her a consoling hug!  So darn cute!

That is cute.  It must be tough being an animal Mom.  You have to catch your own food and protect your kids at the same time.

There was a terrific show on Nature (PBS) last night about the plight of moose in North America.  In an effort to learn more about them, it followed a mother and her calf during the calf's first year.  It was very well done, demonstrating just the thing that you mentioned - how mothers have to both find food and protect their young.
