An infrared camera in Hubei’s Duheyuan National Nature Reserve just served up some serious #NatureGoals! The footage shows a Chinese goral mom casually strolling with her curious cub – think ‘parenting in the wild’ meets adorable exploration.
While mama stays alert for danger, the little one’s all about sniffing rocks and testing gravity like a tiny, hoofed scientist.
These rock-climbing pros (seriously, they live on cliffs ) are VIPs on the IUCN Red List with ‘vulnerable’ status. Conservationists are hyped about this sighting – it’s like catching a rare Pokémon IRL! The reserve team told us: ‘Every sighting helps us protect these mountain ninjas better.’
Fun fact: Gorals are basically the parkour masters of the animal kingdom. Their steep habitat preferences make them harder to spot than a decent Wi-Fi signal in the wilderness. This mother-cub moment? Pure wilderness gold.
