A zoo in Poland says it's the first to capture on video the birth of a rare Philippine mouse-deer and everyone's hoping it's a male so it can help the endangered species breed. The night birth on Nov. 10 at 2:24 a.m. at the Zoo in Wroclaw was filmed by a camera in the stall. It has given experts some knowledge on the mouse-deer's birth process and the first actions of a newborn, including that it begins to nurse quite quickly.
