Cute baby Kirk’s Dik-dik antelope

This baby Kirk's Dik-dik antelope was born in Cheshire at Chester Zoo in north west England.

She was abandoned by her mother during the cold snap but she has since won the hearts of everyone who has met her.


This tiny antelope, who is barely ten inches tall, is being bottle fed milk five times a day and will be given a helping hand until she is old enough for a diet of buds, shoots and fruits.


It is native to Kenya, Tanzania and Namibia, the Kirk's Dik-dik antelope gets its name from the noise it makes when running for cover.
