Sometimes we take a break from the world of celebrity (there's only so much you can write about Miley's bleached brows after all), to bring you dispatches from the most adorable specimins of the animal world.

This week, we couldn't stop cooing over this baby dik-dik, who's taken up residence in Chester Zoo.

A dik-dik is one of the smallest species of antelope in the world, mostly found in eastern and southwestern Africa, and this pint-sized cutie, called Neo, measures in at only 20cm and 1.3kg. But there's a tale of woe attached to these adorable images - baby Neo was rejected by his mother at the zoo - so it's up to his eight-month-old sister Aluna (also abandoned) and the zookeepers to take over him.

Chester Zoo's Claire McPhee told the Chester Chronicle:

"Dik-dik mothers do not always take to their young and unfortunately Neo and his mum didn't quite hit it off...but happily his not-so-big sister Aluna...is drawing on her own experiences and is being a real calming influence on him"

After looking at these pictures, we know a fair few members of the GLAMOUR team happy to take Neo off Aluna's hands if she ever gets tired of looking after him...
