“Welcome, baby Red River hoglet! Finn, the mama, and baby are bonding behind the scenes,” the video caption reads.
In the video, we see the proud new mama, who is very interested in the camera, and her tiny baby, who’s not far behind her.
The baby is so small but super adorable. It has the same reddish-brown fur with lighter-colored stripes, cute pointy ears, and an adorable little tail.
In the clip, the baby is searching the ground and smelling. As the mama leaves the camera’s view, the baby notices how far their mom has gotten, and they storm out of the camera’s view in an adorable small run.
