I’m going to keep schilling until we hit that deadline of December 11th to guarantee Christmas delivery. Here’s another other mother/baby images that didn’t make the 2026 Mother’s Nature calendar that can be found in Species Limited shop. Lots of T-shirts too that make great holiday gifts for all nature/wildlife lovers out there. The monkeys, by the way, are hanuman langurs, also known as gray langurs and they were photographed in Kanha National Park in India.Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 330mm) ISO 800, f/5 at 1/400th of a second.
Here’s an old classic from back in 2009. But it didn’t make the cut for the 2026 mothers with offspring themed calendar. Still time to pick one or two up before the holidays at www.specieslimited.com. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 300mm) ISO 400, f/7.1 at 1/800th of a second.
With a deadline of December 11th to guarantee shipping arrival by Christmas, I’m going to keep plugging my shop Species Limited. Not just the calendar called Mother’s Nature with images like this (but not this), you can also find many different wildlife-themed T-shirts across four collections. As for the above image, I took it way back in 2009 in Indonesian Borneo. The baby was newborn and the mother was showing constant affection. Nikon D700 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 140mm) ISO 800, f/5 at 1/80th of a second.
A giant anteater pup will ride on its mother’s back for up to a year. The baby’s fur aligns perfectly with the mothers for natural camouflage. To learn more about mothers and babies in nature, check out my 2026 calendar in my Species Limited shop. Get your orders now as the cut off for apparel is December 11th if you want delivery by Christmas. Nikon D850 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 1800, f/5.6 at 1/400th of a second.

Keeping the mothers theme going, here’s a Bennett’s wallaby with her joey. This is a rare white morph of the Bennett’s wallaby found on Bruny Island in Tasmania, Australia. Another white wallaby with joey did make my 2026 wall calendar. Head on over the www.specieslimted.com to see which one. And to buy a calendar (or shirt), of course.

I’m going to keep promo-ing my wildlife calendar for the rest of the week. Here’s another one that didn’t make the cut — several lionesses and their cubs at a water hole in the Kalahari Game Reserve in Botswana. For the images that did make the cut, head to www.specieslimted.com and get your 2026 Mother’s Nature wall calendar.

Bighorn lambs are typically born on steep, rocky cliffs — natural nurseries that help protect them from predators in their most vulnerable days. The ewe stays close, nursing frequently and guiding her lamb through increasingly difficult terrain as it gains strength. Within just a week, the lamb can scale ledges with surprising agility, always keeping its mother in sight. To see more maternal behavior from nature, check out the “Mother’s Nature” wall calendar I just added to my shop at www.specieslimted.com. Nikon D700 with Nikkor 70-200mmm lens (at 200mm) ISO 1600, f/2.8 at 1/400th of a second.
In Peru’s northern Amazon basin, three-toed sloths are often seen slowly munching on the buds, fruits, and tender leaves of the Cecropia tree, a favorite food source that’s both abundant and easy to digest. These trees grow quickly along forest edges and gaps, making them a vital part of the sloth’s high-canopy diet. Nikon D500 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 800, f/6.3 at 1/500th of a second, Godox 860iii fill flash.
