Most mammals care for their own young only. However, there are some social mammals that live in groups and work together to raise each other's young. For example, lions live in prides, and the females nurse each other's cubs and take turns babysitting when the rest of the females leave to hunt. Wolves, on the other hand, live in a pack where only the dominant pair has cubs. Then, the whole pack works together to raise the cubs.

Do mammals help to care for one anothers' young?

Some mammals do, but others do not. One couple of maras (maras mate for life) will guard their own young and the young of other couples. The couples that are the parents of these young take turns guarding the young while the other couples hunt. In African Wild Dog packs, some adults will watch all the pups in the pack while the other adults hunt. Care for another individual's offspring is called crèche.
