MIYAZAKI -- The first wild Misaki horse foal of the season was born Monday in southern Kyushu. Misaki horses inhabiting Cape Toi in Kushima, Miyazaki Prefecture, have been designated a national natural treasure, making the area a popular tourist destination.
The male foal, measuring about 1 meter in length and weighing about 15 kilograms, was seen snuggling with his mother, drinking milk and walking around on Tuesday.
According to the association that manages the cape, the birthing season for the horses has started 12 days earlier compared to the previous year. It usually peaks in April and May.
The foals born during this time are referred to as "Harukoma," or spring horses.
