The new-born calf comes skipping to its dam or The new-born calf is coming skipping to its dam

"The new-born calf is coming and the same time it is skipping (manner) to its dam."
My question is if i joined these two sentences into a simple one then what the sentence would be like? Please explain it grammatically. Thanking you.

That's possible.
roky0071 2.The new-born calf is coming skipping to its dam.
You don't need "coming" because "skipping" already incorporates that meaning in it.

you said "The new-born calf comes skipping to its dam" I can not understand why you used present simple "comes" here instead of present continuous "is coming right now". If i write "The calf is coming to its dam,skipping" is it correct
