Big eyes, long eyelashes, a petite nose; a dik-dik male posing for a portrait in golden sunset light. The smallest antelope of the African savanna, it weighs not much more than a house cat. It lives in strictly monogamous pairs that comfort each other after dangerous situations by licking their partner in the face. It’s highly adapted to arid areas, among others by having a sophisticated climate-control system in its nose. This one is from Samburu National Reserve in NE Kenya.
