An adorable colt foal named Eros is the newest addition to the critically endangered Corolla wild horse herd.

A popular wild horse who resided on the North Carolina reserve was found in distress and made comfortable in her final hours.

The aged mare became a celebrity of sorts for her 'harem-hopping' tendencies to watch over others' newborn foals.

An elderly mare on North Carolina's Outer Banks has been seen "babysitting" foals from other family groups.
