Photo by @amivitale | In honor of #MothersDay, we’re sharing moments of motherly love in its many forms. Did you know that panda moms are some of the most devoted creatures on Earth? They cradle their adorable bundles of fur 24/7 for the first few weeks of their lives—talk about nonstop cuddles! YeYe, shown here, a sixteen-year-old panda superstar, has been the ultimate teacher, showing her feisty two-year-old cub, Hua Jiao, the ropes of life at the Wolong Nature Reserve in China. But here's the real scoop: there are fewer than 2,000 giant pandas left in the wild. For over 30 years, dedicated researchers have been working tirelessly to breed, release, and protect these magnificent creatures and their bamboo-filled homes. Thanks to their efforts, captive-born pandas are being sent back into the wild, with all the skills they need to thrive—resulting in a steady rise in the giant panda population.
