Zoo workers in Chester, England, have stepped in to care for a newborn antelope after its mother passed away.

The new arrival, named Thanos, measures just 19 centimetres (7.5 inches) and is currently too small to register a weight on the zoo's scales.

Staff are feeding Thanos five times a day after his mother died not long after giving birth.

Kirk's dik-dik antelopes grow to a maximum size of just 40 centimeters (16 inches), making them one of the smallest species of antelopes in the world.
