Happy Mothers Day! May 12, 2024

Happy Mothers Day!

Mothers, the perennial source of love and comfort, may not wear capes, but they are the true heroes in our lives. In today"s image, we see a mother and baby guanaco, a relative of the llama, roaming the vast grasslands of La Pampa, Argentina. Just like a human mom, a guanaco female is fiercely protective of her child, also known as a "chulengo."
