A perfect example of the “sleepy eye” rule!!

5 Rosa 04.29.08 at 2:44 am

It kind of looks like it came out of a Dr. Seuss book, but with much cuter eyes than most of the Dr. Seuss characters.

6 Caitlin 04.29.08 at 2:57 am

definitely looks like something from Dr Seuss :)

7 Jenn 04.29.08 at 3:00 am

I was having a pity party before I saw this. Now I just want to nuzzle the warm earling while looking into the large moist eye… Closing my eyes and smelling the warm snuggleness of it all…

Exotic proshness!

9 berthaservant 04.29.08 at 3:20 am

Eye booger!

Sorry, DikDik. You’re darn cute, but the klipspringer still kicks your fuzzy butt:

Sorry Jaye, I MUST disagree… the DikDik wins, hands down…

I like Dik-Diks, but if forced to choose, I’m with Bob Harris: Gimmee a Pudu!

Hey,DikDik–You are so cute-
It makes the whole day better! Are you using wax?
I’m supposed to say prosh,
so, okay…PROSH!!

14 Emilia 04.29.08 at 3:53 am

oh goodness! Gonzo made it to cute overload!!

15 AlbertaGirl 04.29.08 at 3:55 am

I seem to remember from my zoo days that these little mouthfuls have… PREHENSILE LEEPS!

16 Furbabies 04.29.08 at 5:01 am

Look at the giraffe-like lips! I bet they are really soft. Please kiss me little one, right here on my cheek.

17 amy 04.29.08 at 5:03 am

check out those ear fuzzies!

18 debg 04.29.08 at 6:01 am

The unholy marriage of antelope, camel, and tapir, perhaps?

What a cootie-patootie. I’ll take a prehensile-lipped-kiss too.

19 Juniper Jupiter 04.29.08 at 6:03 am

Is it me or does this redonkulously anerable DikDik look like a sockpuppet wif BIG button eyes?

20 Hon Glad 04.29.08 at 6:53 am

Rod Stuart haircut.

21 kb 04.29.08 at 7:03 am

Yayyyy! Thanks to CO the dikdik is my favorite animal. My sweetie and I even do dikdik faces to each other.

22 Subhangi 04.29.08 at 7:07 am

ROFL!

23 Sarah 04.29.08 at 7:40 am

Oh my God.
It looks like David Tennant.

izzn’t an eye booger. it’s a gland that stinkies come out of to mark territories.

These are tiny antelopes — little bite-size snacks. With good reason, they’re incredibly nervous and very fleet of foot. So I’m amazed to see a picture of one in sharp focus. Wow. When I saw them in the wild, even my eyes couldn’t catch them in such good focus.

31 anonymous 04.29.08 at 11:38 am

You have to show the tiny dikdik feets. They are oh-so-cute and delicate.

32 metsakins 04.29.08 at 12:01 pm

I think I will have to study the dikdik more closely to come to a conclusion on his cute/proshness.

33 kelly 04.29.08 at 12:34 pm

Hey well the dikdik might be cute, but I met one in person once at a Kangaroo ranch near me and the people that work there pull a trick on visitors. They tell you to touch your finger to the dik dik’s nose. And when you do he snots out this black goo all over your finger.. gross..

34 Too Late 04.29.08 at 12:54 pm

Awwww… Mr. Dik McDikersons… I can picture heem slowly sipping out of a teeny cup o’ tea with those dainty leeps!

35 Theresa 04.29.08 at 1:24 pm

Once again, a christmas cookie in the guise of a tiny antelope.

[Yay!! - Ed.]

36 debg 04.29.08 at 1:38 pm

@Liz, the photographer said she saw it in a zoo–the blurriness comes from defocusing the cage.

37 Erika 04.29.08 at 2:55 pm

I love dikdiks! I was once licked by a dik dik at the Denver zoo!

38 Holy Cuteness 04.29.08 at 3:24 pm

Awwwwwwww…:-)

39 Fegli 04.29.08 at 4:12 pm

Oh man! Am I the only one who desperately wants to see the sproingage?

40 seao 04.29.08 at 4:17 pm

I’ve never seen this species before.. what a weird looking thing..

41 Katrina 04.29.08 at 4:30 pm

Yes, Meg, if possible, may we have some serious sproingage sometime? Uppy-downny sproinging with or without food, just the sproingage- dikdik sproingage would be nice, but ocelot or another aminul would do, too.
ThanksThanks for the dikdik!

42 Paunchie 04.29.08 at 4:36 pm

sproingage!!

43 Nottmi 04.29.08 at 5:51 pm

All these comments and still nobody’s making dikdik jokes?

44 260Oakley 04.29.08 at 6:24 pm

Nottmi, they used them all up on Tapirs and their Big Schnozzles. Though the Dik Dik is unusually equipped in the schnozzle department as well.

45 Katie Kat 04.29.08 at 7:08 pm

The mohawk! And I’ll bet when he eats, his little nose goes all “schnorble, schnorble” as it grasps little green plants… OMG.

He must be bitty as well – double cuteness points!

46 Katie Kat 04.29.08 at 7:11 pm

Erica… seriously? You just printed that as a comment? :)

47 chanpon 04.29.08 at 7:34 pm

Looks like the Dik Dik just looked in a mirror and realized he looks like Jimmy Durante.

48 Gail 04.29.08 at 10:15 pm

Where’s Mrs Catlabash when we have a good Jimmy Durante reference??

I don’t think I’ve ever seen one of these before…Totally SQUEEABLE!!!

LMAO Theresa!!

49 Punkster 04.29.08 at 11:30 pm

Antelopes don’t sproing! They PRONK. Yup, they go pronking across the savannahs.

With odd little noses…

50 Sarah 04.30.08 at 1:09 am

@Ed: I tewtelly gave that to my friend Katy for Christmas last year. High five!

51 kittenkissies 04.30.08 at 10:48 am

When I am reincarnated, I want to come back as a big one of these, so people will say: “Look at that big dikdik”.

[I don't think they come in "big", K. Besides, they keep telling me size doesn't matter... - Ed.]

52 marie 04.30.08 at 4:05 pm

just looking at that made my legs go numb. good thing i have a desk job (sorta). (i mean, sorta have a desk job, and good thing i’m sitting, or the numblegs would make me fall)

53 Erika 05.06.08 at 5:41 pm

Sorry to go back to this after so long but…Yes, Katie Kat, I was actually licked by a dik dik at the Denver zoo. The tiny little guy walked right up to the fence, so I stuck my finger out to his wriggling little schnozzle and he licked me! I shall never forget heem!
