I was reading about an amphibian, the caecilian and found that their maternal behaviour goes beyond anything I have ever heard before.

The mother grows an extra layer of skin for her babies to rip off and eat as their first meal. Then they rest while she grows back another layer of skin so the babies can do it again.

That is maternal dedication!
