Little Rupert the Deer

For nothing more than how adorable he is, I bring you Rupert.

The wildlife doctor, who performed a caesarean section, was glad
the driver had noticed that the doe was pregnant when he hit her with his car.

Isn't this amazing just how "perfect" he is, long before it was time to be born?

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-inches tall and weighing just over 1-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 got the fawn out and got him breathing and then put him into an incubator and

on oxygen. He is now being fed by a tube."

The Staff are optimistic that Rupert, now 5-days old, will make a full recovery.

"Deer are very tricky and when too little like this, difficult to save. But this littleguy has spirit. He's an extremely feisty little boy and quite pushy!" Mr. Stocker said.
