TIRE TROUBLE!



My sister loves the playground, so I went

with her and my mom recently. I decided
to try out the tire swing since I hadn’t

been on one in a long time. After I got

on, I started swinging in circles and
was having fun. When my mom yelled

that it was time to go home, I realized I

couldn’t get out of the swing. My bottom

was stuck! I squirmed around trying to
get up, but I just made it worse. My sister

eventually helped me out but only after

she took a video of me. She immediately

put it on her Instagram for all our

Mother’s Day
your favorite animals
is May 10!



POLAR BEARS

Polar bear mamas gain a whopping 400

pounds while they’re pregnant to make sure their

bodies don’t reabsorb their young (sounds crazy,
but it’s true!). After that, they stop eating for a few

months and go into a hibernation-like state before
they give birth to ensure they have healthy babies.



The Most Amazing























Celebrate Mother’s Day by reading these facts with your mom!




GORILLAS


Gorillas are the animal that’s most like
humans. We share 98% of the same

DNA, so it’s no surprise that their
parenting style is similar to human

moms'. Gorillas often remain a family

unit throughout their lives, which is rare
for animals, and the moms have been

known to kiss and cuddle their kids.

ORANGUTANS

Scientists agree than orangutan moms have
one of the closest mother/child bonds in the

animal kingdom. Young orangutans completely

rely on their mothers for the first two years
of their lives: Clinging to her back is the only

way they can get around. They also have their
moms to thank for bringing them food and

building them a new sleeping nest each night.
