dik-dik

"During his daily excursions, there are always two keepers with him and most days they encounter a number of wild animals along the way, varying from elephants, to the tiny dik-dik."

In a clearing in rural Somalia, a jihadi commander sat in a white plastic chair, stroking a dik-dik, an antelope the size of a cat.

A couple of years ago, the zoo had to bottle-feed a dik-dik named Dasher when his mother did not provide the proper care.

On the short Land Rover drive down from Saruni Samburu’s crested perch, you’ll pass cute little dik-dik antelope scurrying in the bush, and gerenuk gazelles standing upright to feed on bushes.

For leopards will eat him up if he gets fatter, And so, for a dik-dik, size really does matter.
