A parent’s love for their child knows no boundaries, and this is true both of us and of our animal friends. In these heartwarming photos of animal parenting, you’ll recognize many of the same tender and stressful childhood moments that you may have also experienced as a parent or a child.

Animals (especially wild animals) don’t have the vanity or the discipline to pose for organized family photos, but wildlife photographers will still do their best to capture photos that look like they could be corny family holiday post-cards.

There are plenty of species throughout the animal kingdom that find life-long soulmates like we do (or try to), and quite a few of these happen to be birds – swans, barn owls, albatrosses and bald eagles are just a few of the many bird species that mate for life.

 Here we have gathered collection of touching pictures of animal surrounded by their familes.

Now smile!
