While some are posting photos and statuses along with hashtags in honor of Mother's Day, Google took to its homepage to honor moms everywhere.

On Sunday, the world celebrated the one day each year designated to give thanks to our mothers who raise and put up with us.

When you go to Google's homepage, there is an interactive doodle where a mother duck is seen taking her ducklings under her wing.

As the doodle continues, viewers see a sequence of mother-child relationships between animals leading up to a human mother and child.

Following the duck, there is a leopard cub crying until its mother comes and picks it up, and then a female rabbit and four kits who jump into her lap playfully.

Finally, a child is seen running toward its mother as she picks it up. After the sequence finishes, it starts all over.

Mother's Day commemorates mothers, and this doodle does so of mothers across all species. Australia, India, Canada and the United States are only some of the countries that recognize this holiday as the second Sunday of May.

Mother's Day is not, however, recognized as a federal holiday which means that organizations, businesses and stores remain opened or closed as they would any other Sunday.

The day is thought to have been started in the 1800s to encourage pacifism and disarmament amonst women.
