Dik-Dik

[Dik-dik in Samburu] Dik-Dik are weird little antelope about the size of a house cat. They remind me of the legendary 'Jackalope' that you see on postcards out west. Rabbits with little horns superimposed onto their little heads through the magic of modern technology.

I was so incredibly impressed by them that I only took a couple of pictures. I must have been just standing there gaping at them. I bet most of the big cats don't even bother eatting them. I mean really, you would burn up more calories chasing one than you would get devouring a half-dozen of them.
