You will probably never see this again. ...with all the gloomy news
floating out there...here is a nice nature story that is uplifting.... This
tiny deer was delivered by Caesarean section at a wildlife hospital after
his mother was killed by a car. 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.
At just six inches tall and weighing just over a pound, he is now in an
incubator in the intensive care unit at Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital in
Buckinghamshire. He has only recently opened his eyes. Les Stocker, founder
of Tiggywinkles, said: "Rupert's mother had very severe injuries. We brought
him out and got him breathing and then he went into an incubator on oxygen.
He is now being fed by a tube."

Dear deer: Rupert pulls a striking pose for the camera
Staff are optimistic that Rupert, now five days old, will make a full
recovery. Deer are very, very tricky but this one has spirit.. He's an
extremely feisty little guy and quite pushy, Mr. Stocker reported.
