There Are Moms Way Worse Than You

A hilarious and reassuring gift for every mom—because we’re all doing the best we can… and in the animal kingdom, some moms have it way worse.

Did you know a giraffe mom gives birth standing up—then kicks her newborn until it learns to walk? Or that sexton beetles raise their babies inside a decomposing mouse? Koala moms feed their young their own poop (yes, really), and panda moms sometimes abandon one twin because raising two is just too much. And every now and then, a cuddly hamster mom will—yep—eat her newborn pups.

These wild but true animal facts offer a funny, slightly shocking reminder of what “good parenting” really looks like. Perfect for bringing laughs, perspective, and a little reassurance to moms everywhere.
