Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS)An endangered Visayan spotted deer has been born at Edinburgh Zoo.
The fawn was born on Monday, July 14, and keepers named her Ulan, which means “rain” in Tagalog, a language spoken in the Philippines.
Visitors can now see Ulan exploring her habitat, sticking close to parents Lyra and Pablo.
The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland said she is settling in well and is known to favour sleeping in a hollowed-out tree trunk.
Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS)Edinburgh Zoo is now home to four Visayan spotted deer: parents Lyra and Pablo, Watson and baby Ulan.
Native to the Philippines, it is estimated that as few as 700 Visayan spotted deer remain in the wild meaning it is classified as endangered on the IUCN Red List.
The species has already disappeared from several islands in the Philippines due to intensive hunting and deforestation and can only be found on the islands of Panay and Negros.
