"She is the creature of life, the giver of life, and the giver of abundant love, care and protection. Such are the great qualities of a mother. The bond between a mother and her child is the only real and purest bond in the world, the only true love we can ever find in our lifetime."

This timeless quote from author Ama H. Vanniarachchy perfectly sums up this photo.

As the young bison wanders around the fields carelessly, without a care in the world, his mother continues to watch over.

And if a perceived threat does come near, the mother doesn't think twice in covering her child with her protection, making herself vulnerable to the dangers around.

Such is the love of a mother.

And if we can witness this in seeming brutes like bison, how much more does this make us appreciate the love of our own mothers for us?

Bison are magnificent creatures indeed. They are social creatures and reflect the care and concern humans should have for one another.
