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.

In today's economic environment, it is clear that although wildlife investment may decline in the short term as the focus moves from a sustaining mode to a survival mode of operations for most conservation organizations, this re-evaluation and change is long awaited. Using technology has become a key factor in making this transformation successful.


Nature doesn’t get much prettier than this little guy.
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."
