This tiny deer was delivered by Caesarean section at Tiggywinkles wildlife hospital in the U.K. after a car killed his mother.

Little Rupert, who is so small he can fit in an adult's hand, was born after vets failed in their battle to save his mother. He was 5-days old when these pictures were taken.


Unfortunately, according to Snopes, Rupert lived only a few days after a gallant effort to keep him alive.
