The maternal bond tends to be stronger and more intense among mammals than other animals simply due to the physical and emotional attachments formed during the weeks, months, or years that every female mammal spends nursing her young.

life-or-death significance of intimate physical contact between the primate mother and her offspring dwarfs that of any other higher animal.
