Shapes of light normal nuclei and -hypernuclei are investigated using the relativistic mean-field approach. The FSUGold parametrization is used for this purpose. The addition of a is found to change the shape of the energy surface towards positive deformation, i.e., prolate shape. The deformation in a -hypernucleus, when the hyperon is in the first excited state, is also discussed. The effect of the inclusion of the hyperon on the nuclear radius is generally small with one exception.
