These adorable pictures show a baby reindeer named Eve after she arrived at a wildlife center - just in time for Christmas.

Reindeer calf Eve arrived from a zoo in England two weeks ago and is settling into life at Almond Valley Heritage Centre, in West Lothian, Scotland.

She has proved a hit with visitors during the festive period alongside the center’s other reindeer Ivy, aged 18 months.

Eve, who arrived from Green Dragon Eco Farm, Buckingham, weighs around 40kg (88 pounds) and is being fed a special reindeer pellet.

Farm manager, Craig Holmes, 33, said Eve is settling in well and enjoyed playing around in the snow recently.

“Eve and Ivy are getting on together, although Ivy is keeping her in her place around food," Craig said.

“Reindeer are herd animals so they should get on well in the future too, Eve is still a baby just now.

“Eve is very confident and settled in really well considering she only got here two weeks ago.

“They both really enjoyed the recent snow we had which they weren’t used to.

“They were able to use their nose and feet to push the snow away and get to the grass which was nice.

“Eve is already a hit with visitors.”
