Spring and summer are time for babies. I haven't seen so many babies in the Karoo for a long time. These little ostrich chicks are just the cutest. #ostrich #babies #igcutest_animals #allmightybirds #algoacountry #birdwatching #bestbirdshots #karoo #karoonationalpark #loves_southafrica #loves_africa #animalpolis
