Answer explanation

Many animal mothers are able to pick up and move their young. Carefully, and without harm, an animal mom can snatch their babies up by the scruff of their neck. Mom doesn't bite down. She just uses her mouth to carry her young to safety. Babies instinctively know mom is protecting them from danger and they remain motionless for transport.
