Definitely. Calves need the protection, since they are helpless creatures and don't have the defenses nor the strength to look after themselves like their mothers do.
Good question but i dont have a clue
Newborns stay with their mother for at least a year. Some calves stay with their mother up to 2 1/2 years.
They stay calves
Whale males don't stay close. They take off after mating.
It is super important that the newborn puppies stay with the mother most of the time. Don't worry if the mother goes wandering a few times, she's tired of staying in one simple place. But when the puppies start to cry, the mother HAS to go back. The least puppies could stay with their mother is 4 weeks, but is HIGHLY recommended for them to stay with their mother at 8 weeks.FACT: Newborn puppies die faster when they are separated from their mothers too early.
Baby chimps stay very close to mother for about 2.5 years.

A mother dog will stay close to the puppy out of instinct to keep it warm. If she accidentally lies down on the puppy or rolls on it, it could kill it. Also, if she is not with them for an extended period of time and they catch a chill, they will die.
only for short periods of time--30 minutes
No, the mother butterflies die soon after laying eggs.
Because it's newborn, you should probably put it with its mother quickly before it starves. But newborn puppies can last up 45 minutes without their mother's milk. Because they have been consuming the food that the mother has been eating, so they're like one fourt full...but they DO need their milk to have their nutritions.
Calves are weaned off their mother's milk after 8-12 months. The calf will likely stay with the mother for protection for some time longer. By age 3 or 4 the calf is sexually mature and is likely to be independent of its mother.
