This baby lemur was rejected by its mum so staff at Blair Drummond Safari Park, near Stirling are looking after it.
It's a week old and has been christened Gollum - after the Lord of the Rings character - by his keepers.
Usually a mother would carry a baby lemur on her back for the first few weeks so Gollum is clinging onto a soft toy instead!
The tiny mite weighed about 60g - the same as a small bar of chocolate - and was just 10cm long when he was born. He needs feeding every few hours and he is so small they are using a kitten bottle!
