Family moments are always precious, and many people are willing to do everything to be able to spend time with their families.

After all, none of us would ever trade these priceless moments for anything.

This sentiment holds true not only for humans but also for some animals.

While there are animals that have close family ties, such as elephants, chimpanzees, and emperor penguins, others do not. Giraffes, for example, “do not have strong social ties like other animal species,” according to Giraffe Worlds.

However, mothers have a strong bond with their offspring.

A touching video showcases this strong maternal bond in giraffes. In the video, a mother giraffe ensures that her baby has a special moment with its father as they meet for the first time.

The mother is seen watching from the side while the father giraffe sweetly approaches their little one. It seems that the father is guaranteeing that the young giraffe will feel his love.

The father giraffe unhesitatingly kisses the baby a couple of times.

Then, the mother giraffe approaches the two of them. She goes straight to the father giraffe and gives him a sweet kiss.

It’s another heartwarming moment that showcases the affection between the parents.
