Salt's dik-dik (Madoqua saltiana) is a small antelope found in semidesert, bushland, and thickets in the Horn of Africa, but marginally also in northern Kenya and eastern Sudan.

[1] It is named after Henry Salt, who was the first European to acknowledge the species in Abyssinia in the early 19th century.

The animals are most often found in pairs and small groups, and Salt's dik-diks mainly eat leaves and shoots of acacia trees.

Due to ecological factors, Salt's dik-diks have a considerably lower basal metabolic rate than other ruminants that inhabit temperate and cold climates.

As soon as the young dik-dik reaches sexual maturity (6–9 months), it establishes a territory with a mate.
