Yeah I was thinking the same thing. It’s all calm and respectful.

Wow that baby is strong!

ETA: Mom keeps tapping a hoof beside baby as if saying “Hurry up, get up before the wolves get here!”

She really wants that baby up, doesn’t she? She’s being very careful, though.

I had to leave the house for an hour and I missed it! I came back and there was a baby!

Oh, well… congratulations Virona!

C’mon, little guy - get up and get something to eat! (I’ve decided it’s a boy…)

Ha! Momma just got partway down and then up again, as if to show him how.

I think his name should be Squirmy.

I think Squirmy needs to get back in camera range!

And now he’s squirmed out of sight at the bottom of the screen. :frowning:

ETA: Wow, Virona sure is dedicated, isn’t she?

I feel strangely disloyal to China watching Virona and Squirmy. But she’s not up to anything right now. Not even pooping.

I think squirmy is up.

Yep! He’s all legs, the poor wobbly thing.

And down again!

He’s uip!!!

And down.

Hahaha – attendant’s giving him a gentle nudge with her foot

Squirmy is nursing! Way to go dude!

Aw, he;s all tuckered out now.

Mom’s having a light snack.

Good grief, he looks like a baby giraffe laying there. Is it just me or are his legs extra long?

Up again and it looks as if mom’s trying to push him to her teats.

ETA Oops, pushed too hard and down he goes again.

For you horse experty types: is everything ok there? I just kind of feel like somethings off.

She’s such a good mom! Oh, I can’t wait a year!

Damn,m I can’;t see his head but I think he’s latched on!
