Field Notes

Description:

This dinky little antelope is actually a fully grown adult and is one of the smallest known living antelope species, this one was about 70cm (28in) in length and around 35 cm (14 in) tall. It was very skittish and scampered about the side of the road as we drove past it. Dik Diks are believed to be monogomous and spend most of their time with their partners.

Habitat:

Seen in the Serengeti national park, Tanzania

Notes:

You shouldn't really call animals adorable but this one really was.
