3 of the Meanest Moms in the Animal Kindom

If you think you’re failing at momming, think again.  You could be a lot worse.

#3 Panda Bear Moms

A Panda mom normally has only enough milk and nutrients to feed one cub.  So if she births 2 or more, she cares for only the strongest one, completely ignoring the other cubs.  She may even neglectfully roll over or step on them.

#2 Black Bear Moms

On the other end of the spectrum, a Black Bear mom normally births 2 or 3 cubs at a time.  So if she only births one, she decides it isn’t worth the effort to raise just a solitary offspring, and so promptly abandons it.

#1 Hamster Moms

Hamster moms have been known to actually eat their babies.  Some scientists think she does so to replenish lost nutrients after birth.  Others think she feels threatened by a large litter.  And if any babies have abnormalities, they’re goners for sure.
