Günther's dik-dik

Günther's dik-dik (Madoqua guentheri) is a small antelope found in arid zones of East Africa.

It has a yellowish-gray to reddish-brown coat, black hooves, small heads with long necks and large ears with white insides.

Typical habitat includes low thicket-type vegetation in thornbush, savanna grassland and riverine woodland biomes, and extends to disturbed and overgrazed areas.

[3] Günther's dik-dik is a browser rather than a grazer, feeding mainly on the leaves, flowers, stems, fruits and seeds of non-grasses.

[4] The species is monogamous; parents and calves do not form family groups for prolonged periods, and the calf is driven out at an early age to fend for itself.
