David Attenborough takes a look at the unique approaches of several different animal species to motherhood. \n\nThe elephant seal mother loses 40 per cent of her body weight during the four short weeks she has to wean her pup. The seahorse female leaves giving birth to the male. The amaurobious spider sacrifices everything for her children - she is their very first meal.
