B
Family love is not only for humans(人类). Animals also show love among their family members.
In Antarctica(南极洲), it is very cold—about $-40°\mathrm{C}$. Mother penguins(企鹅) lay one egg and then go far away to look for food. Father penguins put the egg under their warm belly feathers. They stand still for two months. They are hungry and cold, but they never leave the egg. This selfless act is a father's deep love. It gives the baby penguin a chance to live.
Wolves have strong family love, too. When a wolf is hurt or sick, other wolves do not leave it. They bring food and protect(保护) it. For example, a young wolf with a broken leg can get food and help from its family for weeks. This shows animal families care for every member, just like human families.
Elephants also love their family deeply. When a family member comes back, they touch each other with their trunks and make soft sounds. When an elephant dies, its family stays with it for days and feels sad.
Love is not about words. It is about being there for the ones we care about.
