Word's Sweetest Animals: Like Mother Like Daughter

                         
                              MAMA WHALE, BABY WHALE
             

Mom and baby whales share a strong bond with one another. A mother humpback whale will leave Alaska and migrate 3000 miles to Hawaii, to give birth to their calves. Once their calves are born, they are raised in the warm waters of Hawaii, until they are prepared enough to migrate back to Alaska. 

Whales are one of my favorite animals because they have beautiful qualities that make them seem really magical. Have you ever heard the sound of whales sing? Its the most beautiful thing! Can you just imagine a mother and father whale teaching their young how to sing? That would be funny.... but actually, their humming noises they make underwater, are to explore their surroundings. When a male humpback whale moves someplace new, he changes his song to match those coming from nearby whales. Still, the mother whale teaches her child everything she knows. She teaches how to breach, swim, and even come up to the surface! She loves her baby, and will do anything for it. She makes sure that her calf is healthy and strong, and always by her side. I love whales!

   Wait, what? A crocodile? How could they be sweet to their young? They are so ferocious!Well, surprisingly, they are one of the most loving mothers in the whole animal kingdom. Let me tell you why. Before a mother croc, lays her eggs, she will dig a whole next to a lake in the most warm areas of her habitat. Then, she will lay her eggs inside, and patch it up with dirt. Next, she will sit on the spot where she laid them, and be there night and day, stopping for short food or water breaks until they hatch. Talk about overprotective! After they hatch, she will be with them for the first year or so, teaching them how to live on their own. Let me tell you an interesting fact: Mom crocodiles, actually keep their young in their mouths for protection from predators. You must be thinking,  "She eats them??" Like I said, for protection. She doesn't eat them, she just keeps them in her mouth, so they are always with her and protected. Mother crocodiles are sweet creatures, so don't judge a book by its cover!

        Seahorses are beautiful creatures, and loyal too. In fact, when a female seahorse lays  eggs, she lays them in the father's pouch, to develop and hatch. He can hold up to 1,000 eggs (depending on the species) and doesn't complain.....well, he can't really complain but if he could, he probably wouldn't. Maybe, he even names them!
Can you imagine....... okay, your'e Billy, and you are, johnny....and... where's Rosie? ....... Hahahah I totally can. Seahorses are amazing creatures and..... actually, all of the creatures that I talked about are amazing! Do you want to save these super-sweet mommies and daddies? If you do, please go to www.worldwildlife.org to save and or adopt any animal you would like!

                                                             I believe in hope,
