This tiny muntjac fawn was born three weeks early after his mother was hit by a car. The little orphan, delivered by Caesarean section, was just six inches tall and, at 500 grams, weighed little more than a bag of sugar. It looked like he, too, would face a tough fight for survival. But staff at Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital in Buckinghamshire believe Rupert, as he has been named, will make a full recovery after his dramatic arrival. At five days old, he is being kept in an incubator and has just opened his eyes. Source: Mail Online
