Do you know that animals have love for each other and their children just like us humans? Let me tell you some moving stories of great animal parents.

Why did she do so？Her four children were there. The mother swam there every day to feed her babies. This true story moved many people.

Another story is about chimpanzees（猩猩）.A scientist named Jane Goodall spent 14 years living with chimpanzees in Africa. She found that chimpanzees also looked after the hurt or lost ones, “It is not only humans who have duties, animals also do.” she said.
