It may not be "love" in the traditional sense. It probably is a programmed reflex, insuring the survival of the species. Maybe even our "human emotion" is also just a programmed reflex.
I don't know. I just think about it now and then.
When I see this behaviour in the wild, which seemingly has nothing to do with "the survival of the species" but in which the mother shows a patience and devotion to its babies which comes close to our concept of Love, I begin to wonder....
A mother Cheetah and her babies in the Serengeti, Tanzania.
Mother Love ? Mother Patience ?
