There's been a new arrival at Colchester Zoo, with Kirk's dik-dik Pumpkin giving birth to a baby daughter - Spice.
The newborn arrived on October 15 and is Pumpkin's second calf since arriving at the zoo in August 2021.
Spice’s dad is Demetri who has been at Colchester Zoo since September 2016 - he's been the father of 13 different calves over the years.
Both mum and daughter are said to be doing wells, with Spice said to be 'growing healthier and stronger' every day.
The pair are being kept indoors and off public display for now.
