‘So cute!’ This Florida zoo’s video of a newly born baby antelope will make your day

Enough of the doom and gloom.

We guarantee this video of a baby antelope recently born at the Brevard Zoo in Melbourne, Florida, will lighten your mood.

The clip posted Thursday showed the spanking new klipspringer, a small antelope native to sub-Saharan Africa. It’s walking around its grass-filled enclosure, sniffing at the camera person and chewing on a snack.

The zoo says the little guy came into this world on Aug. 23, weighing in at just 1 1/2 pounds.

After he spends more time nurturing with mom, the public will be able to see him in person in a few weeks, the Facebook post said.

Commenters couldn’t get enough.

“What a precious little one!”

“So cute!”

“Sweet baby!”

No name yet. But we could think of a few just by looking at its sweet eyes.

The zoo is open to limited capacity, and guests must wear masks and practice social distancing, according to the COVID-19 guidelines listed on the website.
