NURSERY OF HORROR — Babies — no matter what their species — are born into a wide world where everything is new and potentially harmful.
As far as non-human baby animals are concerned, they seem to fall on a scale of ultra brave to ultra wimp when curiosity comes a-calling. Some baby animals are courageously curious, poking and sniffing and exploring with bold abandon. Whereas some baby animals shy away from anything new, staying close to the protective watch of their flock, herd or what have you.
The baby elephant in this video probably thinks it falls into the former category as it boldly wanders several feet away from its mama in what appears to be a Nepalese reserve or animal sanctuary. All is going well until a baby goat enters the picture.
Dun, dun, duuun!
Without doing anything particularly evil or remotely aggressive, said baby goat becomes the villain of this piece. Let’s just say that all this video needs is a spooky soundtrack (à la “Halloween”), and you could enter this baby elephant’s “scream” into the horror movie hall of fame.
Despite my horror movie comparison, this 16-second video is sure to brighten your day just a teeny bit. But all the same, stay safe out there all you baby elephants.

Have You Seen This? Blow-your-mind skateboard tricks
You may think the only way for the skating world to impress these days is for skaters to continually make all their tricks bigger and more death-defying.
