Happy Mother's Day!

Mothers, the perennial source of love and comfort, may not wear capes, but they are the true heroes in our lives. In today's image, we see a mother and baby guanaco, a relative of the llama, roaming the vast grasslands of La Pampa, Argentina. Just like a human mom, a guanaco female is fiercely protective of her child, also known as a 'chulengo.'
