Mouse deer born at Bristol Zoo is only the height of a pencil

preview

Photos have emerged of a tiny mouse deer which was recently born at Bristol Zoo Gardens .The miniscule animal stands at just 20cm (8 inches) tall to its shoulder, the same height as a regular pencil – and the species is known for being the smallest&nbsp;hoofed&nbsp;mammal in the world.Zookeepers don’t yet know the gender of the new arrival, which was born almost a month ago inside an enclosure alongside the the zoo’s fruit bats.Its mother Brienne joined Bristol Zoo Gardens in 2014 from Newquay Zoo to breed with its father Jorah, aged four. The fawn is Jorah’s second offspring.&nbsp;Paige Bwye, senior mammal keeper at Bristol Zoo, said: “Brienne is being a fantastic first-time mother and has been very attentive to her infant.“It will be a little while until we are able to determine the gender of the fawn as they’re so small and quite shy. It’s doing really well though, and has recently started to discover new tastes, such as sweet potato.“They are absolutely fascinating to watch. They move around on their pencil-thin legs and munch on flowers and vegetables.”The infant became the second of its species to be born at the zoo in the past decade after another mouse deer named Missandei arrived in 2020.According to the zoo, it will weigh around 1.5kg (3lbs) when fully grown.Mouse deer are distantly related to deer and feed on flowers and vegetable matter, roaming the forests in their native South East Asia.&nbsp;
