Learning to Walk: Guanaco Calves

In Learning to Walk: Guanaco Calves, narrator Gordon Buchanan explains how calves must learn quickly to stand, walk, and run as predators, like the puma, lurk near where they are born on the open grasslands of Patagonia. Their long legs make this difficult at first, but playing chase helps them build the skills needed to escape predators. This video is excerpted from BBC's Animal Babies, a heartwarming show that follows the first breaths, first steps, and first feeds of some adorable baby animals, revealing the challenges they face to survive in some of the toughest but most beautiful places on the planet.
