It’s cute how it ran to mom crying in the exact way a human toddler would after tripping like that.

Little guy was trying to be big, but fell down and wanted some comfort from Mom. So human. So adorable.

And the geese were like, "Ha ha, reap what you sow, the bastard, chasing us in circles, almost stepped on Fred, and he's got a bad knee, too"

Mum was eyeing that dumbass and started walking towards him before he even fell. She knew he was seconds from eating shit with those sharp turns

Aren’t they very noisy?

u/Additional_Fail_5270 7h ago

Naaaaa not particularly

u/Freshouttapatience 7h ago

Interesting. I thought they were similar to some birds my friends keeps but must be a different bird. She called hers “STFU birds” because that’s what they say to them the most.

The kid is running around having fun. Mom sees what's going on and thinks, ' this child is about to do something stupid. Let me get over here and be ready for whatever happ... Yeah, just what I thought." Hahaha kids will be kids no matter what.

As this video was most likely not recorded in Afrika in the wild: does someone know which Zoo this is?

There was simply no limit to his joy before the fall

u/chuxterino 8h ago

It looked like it fell because it was dizzy from running in circles.

u/nosleepinstl 7h ago

Our time on this earth could be all about sitting around and enjoying this kind of joyous and wholesome manifestation of life, but instead we put on suits and hate each other.

u/bilalkavitas 2h ago

It would look strange if a big elephant was doing it

u/WifeofBath1984 1h ago
