Watch: Baby ducks begin wild life after jumping from artificial nest

This video captures a heartwarming scene of over 20 baby mandarin ducks emulating their mother in an artificial bird nest in the forest of Changbai Korean autonomous county, Baishan city, Jilin province.

The babies followed their mother's lead and leaped from the nest several meters high to begin their life in the wild.

The safe nursery was constructed by the local forestry department to help the mandarin ducks avoid threats from ground predators.
