MUMBAI: There is nothing quite like a mother?s love, even in the great animal kingdom. Just as human beings, mothers in the wild shower all their love and care on the offspring?s. They also protect them from danger and teach important aspects of life and skills required to survive in the most unfriendly and dangerous environments and scenarios.

Animal Planet is hosting special programmes to celebrate Mother?s Day on 12 May from 4 pm - 6 pm.

?Super Mums? is a story in the wild, good mothers need to be clever operators if they want their kids to survive and in turn, breed themselves.

The ?Echo and The Elephants of Amboseli? is a story of a mother?s journey to keep her family alive.
