Moms are known for being the greatest defenders of their babies. No matter what species, mothers always go above and beyond for their kids.

Even in the animal world, mothers are always risking their lives for their young, especially in the wild.

This mama was no exception! When this mama squirrel’s baby went missing, she searched high and low for him. Luckily, another mama - a human mama - happened to recognize the orphaned squirrel before he was in any danger.

The woman said that she noticed the baby squirrel in her ground and knew that he was just a helpless baby. She retrieved the baby squirrel and placed him on her deck, away from the danger of other animals.

She waited near her porch, hoping that sooner rather than later, the mother squirrel would come to rescue the helpless baby.

Within ten minutes, the mother squirrel appeared on the porch! The woman recorded as the mama circled around the porch, devising a plan to rescue her baby. The baby squirrel lay in the blanket, hardly moving - perhaps he was frightened?

The mother squirrel inched closer and closer to her son until, finally, she was reunited! She swiftly picked him up and carried him in her mouth and arms.

Tucked away with her little one, she ran off with her with her son. Her rescue was so sweet and heartwarming. Check out the video, below, to see the rescue footage.
