This en-deer-ing footage of a baby impala taking his very first steps will melt your heart.
The adorable moment the new-born baby took his tentative first steps on wobbly legs was just like the moment Bambi walks for the first time – and the whole thing was caught on camera.
As the proud new mum showers her baby with kisses she nudges him into a standing position – and after a shaky start and a few unsteady failed attempts, the cute impala soon finds his feet.
The heart-warming video was captured by photographer Brendan Cole, from Johannesburg, South Africa, at the Mala Mala game reserve where he used to work as a ranger.
