Meet the baby mouse deer that's as tall as a pencil!

Meet the baby mouse deer at Bristol Zoo that's only as tall as a pencil!

The tiny fawn (that's the name for a baby deer) hasn't been named yet because zookeepers haven't found out if it's male or female because it's so small and shy!

The delicate Malayan mouse deer is around 20cm tall to its shoulder. When it's fully grown, the animal will weigh around 1.5kg - like a large bag of sugar.

Mouse deer are distantly related to deer and feed on flowers and leaves, roaming the forests in their native South East Asia.

It was born to first-time mother Brienne, and father Jorah, almost a month ago.

Paige Bwye from the zoo says: "Brienne is being a fantastic first-time mother and has been very attentive to her infant.

"It will be a little while until we are able to determine the gender of the fawn as they're so small and quite shy. It's doing really well though, and has recently started to discover new tastes, such as sweet potato."
