This is the adorable moment a newborn baby zebra was caught on camera taking its first steps.
The little foal was filmed by a keeper with a smartphone at the Safari Ramat Gan wildlife park in the city of Tel Aviv in western Israel.
Most zebra births occur during the night or early in the morning and it is rare to capture the joyful moment on camera.
Keepers said the cute baby zebra took its first steps around half an hour after entering the world.
The video footage shows it still attached to its afterbirth at first until it fell away after a few steps.
The little foal is seen tottering around as it tries to keep its balance and follow its mother.
Staff at Safari Ramat Gan said it had been an exciting time in the park with three zebra foals born within the past few days.

The latest addition was born when the wildlife park was closed but keepers were on hand to capture its arrival on camera.
And the footage is proving popular with animal lovers around the world after the clip was shared on social media.
A Safari Ramat Gan spokeswoman said: ‘These moments once again enable us to closely observe the wonders of nature right here in Ramat Gan.

‘Even though there are no predators in the safari, the animals here still behave naturally and live in small families that come together as big herds.
‘It’s amazing to see how small foals stand on their feet about half an hour after being born and thus continue to preserve their instinctive, native and natural behavior.’
Safari Ramat Gan, also known as the Zoological Centre Tel Aviv-Ramat Gan, boasts the largest collection of wildlife in human care in the Middle East.
The 250-acre site is home to 83 species of mammals, 92 species of birds and 23 species of reptiles, and attracts more than 700,000 visitors each year.
