We’ve all heard of a mother’s intuition - trust us - but this amazing clip has proven that, once and for all, dads are just as in tune with their little ones as we are.
In a short gif, which was uploaded to Reddit, the dad of a small family can be seen sleeping / drowsily watch TV on the sofa.
And, yeah, he may have his back turned to his youngest daughter - but, when she needs him most, he proves that he can be there in MILLISECONDS.
As she takes an unexpected dive (FACE FIRST!) from the couch, he whips out a hand and catches her ,id-fall.
Check it out:
Now THAT is seriously impressive.
The clip, which was filmed on the family’s home security system, has proven a hit with parents everywhere, clocking up a cool 9,000 views in under a month.
Although it HAS caused many other fathers to share their own frustrations over how much “babies suck at staying alive”.
One wrote: “Seriously, holding my son today and he jerks backwards violently, almost snapping his own little spine in half.
“Why, baby? Why?”
Another added despairingly: “They're like blind incredible hulks. Just tiny balls of anger and hate and poop.”
However, as it turned out, there were also plenty of other Super Dads out there - with others uploading their own ‘Dad Instincts’ gifs to the page.
Check it out:
Phew - that made all the hairs on the back of our necks stand up on end!
