If you look closely, you’ll see the umbilical cord still hanging from this baby. Mom and baby were a long way off, well separated from the herd. The baby was taking his first steps which were very wobbly and spastic. Happily I had my camera on burst and just let it crank away, the quickly switched to video so I also have a short movie clip. The next day when we past the river bed the pair were no where in sight.
