Kirk’s dik-dik calf born at Edinburgh Zoo

The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland’s (RZSS) Edinburgh Zoo has shared the first photos of a Kirk’s dik-dik calf born to parents Noodle and Drax.

Keepers at the wildlife conservation charity named the tiny female youngster Petal, and she can be spotted exploring Edinburgh Zoo’s African Aviary enclosure with mum, Noodle, by her side.

Kirk’s dik-diks are native to the grasslands of Eastern Africa. Growing to a height of just 40cm, they are one of the smallest species of antelope in the world.
