In a video going viral on social media, a mother rat can be seen trying to save her little ones from a burrow filled with water.The mother repeatedly keeps entering the water-logged burrow to save the baby rats - correctly known as pups, pinkies or kittens - from drowning. Carrying them in her mouth, she brings them out of the water-filled hole one by one and puts them in a safer place. She only relaxes after every one of her family is saved.

'Motherly Love': Mummy Rat Saves Babies from Flooded Burrow
14:03 GMT 08.07.2021 (Updated: 10:09 GMT 30.11.2022) New Delhi (Sputnik): It is said that a mother's love is unbeatable and this leads to a matchless sense of preservation for her young as she goes to any lengths to protect them.
