Chester Zoo staff having to care for tiny new arrival

The Kirk's dik-dik is native to Kenya, Tanzania and Namibia and is named after the sound it makes when fleeing danger. They can live for up to 10 years and reach a maximum size of just 40cm tall, making it one of the smallest antelope species in the world.

Keeper Claire McPhee said: "Dik-dik mothers do not always take to their young and unfortunately Neo and his mum didn’t quite hit it off."
