Bristol Zoo has a new and very cute arrival - a baby pygmy hippo:

The youngster is nearly three weeks old and joins parents Sirana and Nato in the Zoo's Hippo House, which has been closed to the public since the birth.

Sirana is apparently a proud - but very protective mum - who isn't letting anyone near her new baby.

The calf is enjoying exploring the exhibit and using the heated pool. It's not yet known if it's a boy or a girl.
