This tiny deer was delivered by Caesarean section at a Wildlife hospital after a car killed his mother.
Little Rupert, who is so small he can fit in an adult's hand, was born after vets failed in their battle to save his mother. At just 6" tall and weighing just over a pound, he is now in an incubator in the intensive care unit at Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital in Buckinghamshire. He has only recently opened his eyes. Les Stocker, founder of Tiggywinkles, said, "Rupert's mother had very severe injuries. We brought him out and got him breathing, and then he went into an incubator on oxygen. He is now being fed by a tube" Nice story.

It's hard to believe that something so tiny will grow into a full-sized deer. At least they didn't go for the obvious choice of name... Bambi
 There is no snooze button on a cat who wants breakfast. |

Who shot Bambi?
Seriously, bang out of order shooting that red deer. Biggest wild land animal in the UK and some idiot with a gun shoots it stone cold dead. I'm a city boy, I don't understand tthe need for culling but all I know is I don't like it. To me it just seems like an excuse for a load of pillocks to get a thrill shooting a wild animal dead for no good reason. A nation of animal lovers? |
