But it's not just the human mother who deserves to celebrate. There are many hardworking mothers in the animal kingdom, and their parenting style is also worthy of recognition. In fact, the maternity of some animals even goes beyond the boundaries of their species. Look at these incredible different parenting stories-from a French bulldog adopting a wild pig to a cat feeding chickens.

French bulldog and piglet (Michael Sohn/AP) A French bulldog named baby adopted six wild boar piglets when he was taken to Rennitz. Just three days after birth, the pig shivered with cold. A shelter worker told the Associated Press that babies began to snuggle up to them to keep warm. The mother pig was probably killed by a hunter, and the cub was found in the forest. The Associated Press reported that when piglets are bottle-fed, babies will carefully observe the contents of their nests while feeding.
