Boo is a fuzzy black bear cub, and there is a brand new fawn in the house. He has no idea what to make of her. more

The fawn is a rescue. She stands very still on the wooden floor with her thin legs set wide, a shaky little stance that many people fell for. Boo reaches out to pet her, and she steps away.

The rescued fawn stands still on the wooden floor while Boo tries to work out what she is.

So he tries something else. He stands up on his hind legs, like a small child. The fawn doesn't react. The man who brought her home asks the cub the obvious thing. "What is that, Boo?"

Boo sits back down and leans in to lick her on the nose. The fawn lowers her head and seems to like it. "What is that, a kiss?" the man says. "Look at that."

From there the man turns coach. "Go give it another kiss," he says, and then he says it again. Boo licks her nose again, and this time the fawn gives the affection right back. "Yes, yes, that's a bear kiss," the man says. "A bear kiss and a deer kiss."

A lot of people want to know how a bear cub and a fawn ended up on the same floor. The next thought is about later. A baby bear on his hind legs is the cutest thing in the room. A grown one doing it would empty the room. Plenty of viewers said it looked like a live-action Disney movie.

For now, though, they are just two babies at home, nose to nose, and they seem to be becoming friends.
