Toad mammas don't carry one big baby in their bellies, but many littles babies on their backs.
Episode 5 : Cichlid Fish

Episode 4 : Spider
February. 09,2013
Being a Mamma requires some sacrifice, especially if you are a Spider, Diaea egrandros. The number one priority for almost all Mammas is to make sure their babies have all the food they need to survive. And for these spiders, that means letting their babies devour them.

February. 08,2013
Good babysitters are hard to find, so Mamma Cuckoos use some slight-of-wing to trick other birds into hatching and raising their young. They slip their eggs into the nests of smaller birds.

Episode 2 : Wasp
February. 07,2013
Wasp Mammas don’t need fancy bottle warmers or breastfeeding pillows.
