Sandhill Cranes and a gosling
Parental love knows no boundaries!
Cutest little gosling had imprinted to a "wrong" family and is showing no interest in the many goose families in the area. It is beautiful how the Sandhills are caring for and protecting this baby though. The Sandhill pair has no colts of their own.
This is definitely something not usually seen. Nobody knows how this happened, we only have unproven theories. Unfortunately, the viability of this tiny gosling is pretty slim.
