This week on That’s Just Wild, Steve and Sarah are exploring motherhood in the animal kingdom… from the sweetest care to the most jaw-dropping survival strategies. 💛🐣
🐻❄️🐊 From polar bears to crocodilians carrying their babies gently in their mouths… to reptiles like leopard iguanas leaving their hatchlings in a protective pile of poo — motherhood in nature comes in many wild forms. 🥚💩
🕷️ Meet the ultimate self-sacrificing mum — the crab spider mother who lets her babies drink nutrients from her legs… before they eat the rest of her. 🕷️🦀
🐼 Not all mums can raise twins — giant panda mothers often choose one cub to care for, leaving the other behind in a tough twist of sibling rivalry.
🐸 Some mums go to incredible lengths — like the gastric-brooding frog that swallows her eggs, switches off her stomach, and protects them inside her body.
