Edinburgh Zoo is celebrating the arrival of a tiny baby deer, one of the rarest of its kind in the world.

The Visayan spotted deer is one of the rarest and most narrowly distributed mammals in the world, with only a few hundred believed to remain in the wild.

Karen Stiven, senior keeper at RZSS Edinburgh Zoo said: "We are very excited to welcome the new male fawn to our collection.

"He has been named Tember and will be looked after by mum for the first six months before he slowly begins developing more confidence.

"This is another great achievement and testament to the hard work the hoof stock team have been putting in over the past several months here at RZSS Edinburgh Zoo.

"This birth is important as Tember will go on to play an important role in safeguarding his species against extinction as part of the European breeding programme."
