CAPE LOOKOUT, N.C. — There's a new four-legged kid on the block at Shackleford Banks. Cape Lookout park supervisors posted on Facebook Thursday about female pony. The post says the foal was born some time around the storm. 

"We cannot say for sure if it was before, during or after. This close-up baby picture was taken with a telephoto lens." 

Cape Lookout posted a reminder to visitors to obey the rules and stay at least 50 feet away from the horses, even more for a mare with a new foal. Let them have time and space to bond -- only take photos using a telephoto lens.
