One of the most beautiful and strong ties in this world is that of a mother and her child. Children experience the greatest levels of joy when they have moms who love and care for them without conditions. In addition, mothers pass onto their offspring the earliest lessons of life, so helping their offspring in developing an accurate perception of the wider world. When God brings new babies into the world, whether they be people or animals, He also brings with them wonderful gifts in the form of mothers.

And just recently, photos of a mother otter caring for her kids have gone viral on the internet. These photos are especially charming. Even though these photos were published for the first time a few years ago, they are once again going viral.

They are so breathtakingly beautiful, and they speak to the most delicate inner parts of human beings.

The caring and loving mother otter carried her young offspring on her back as they navigated the watery bay together. During the trip, she did this to ensure that her baby would be dry and warm.

That was captured by nature photographer Suzi Eszterhas, in Monterey Bay, California. She was stunned by the scene, and she took a photo of it right away.

Ms. Eszterhas photographed using a long telephoto lens to avoid disturbing the mother and the baby.

During the time that the mother otter was searching for food under the water’s surface, she left her youngling to float for itself on the water. Otters are able to swim without assistance because to a covering of natal fur that covers their bodies.

However, the mother never took her gaze off of her little baby. She swam all the way up to the dock and periodically checked on her child while she was there.

Simply looking at these photographs should be enough to bring a smile to your face and for your heart to melt.
