Perfect Parenting

Parenting is not an easy task – not by a long shot. Just looking at us humans, raising children is a nerve-wracking task. But for animal parents, mother nature can be even more demanding. So, animals evolved different strategies for rearing their offspring.

Beneath the waves, an octopus mother gives everything for the next generation; high up in the treetops, an Orangutan young clings tight to its mother, learning all about the best fruiting spots; and for Ceylon Blue Magpies, rearing the young is a group effort altogether.

Our planet’s fauna is beautiful and multifaceted, as are the ways of animal parenting. Single mothers and fathers, same-sex couples, and whole colonies of sisters – all are working hard to ensure their offspring’s survival. And, just as a side note: this film is perfect to keep your little ones occupied – at least for fifty minutes.
