Lost kid

A baby goat in a warehouse in Hawaii

I saw this little goat in a warehouse in Kona. It was a bit panicked by its situation and, when it tried to scamper off on the concrete floor, its feet just went back and forth like a cartoon animal. Eventually, it found its way outside again and disappeared.
