Cape Lookout: Surprise! Foal born sometime during Hurricane Dorian

Surprise! Cape Lookout National Seashore said the foal was born on Shackleford Banks, and likely came around the time of Dorian.

CAPE LOOKOUT, N.C. — The wild horses endured Hurricane Dorian—and they also welcomed a new foal during the storm.

Cape Lookout National Seashore said the foal was born on Shackleford Banks, and likely came around the time of Dorian.

In a Facebook post, officials shared a photo of the new baby (a telephoto lens was used to keep distance).

Officials remind visitors to stay at least 50 feet away from the wild horses.

A week after Hurricane Dorian hit the beaches of Cape Lookout Nation... al Seashore, this loggerhead sea turtle nest began to hatch. In the clip, one little hatchling makes its way out of the nest and begins to crawl down the beach.
