Dik diks are only about 15 inches tall at the shoulder and about 27 inches long. They are very small deer that live throughout Eastern Africa. I mean, really small. They actually kind of look like a large rabbit bouncing across the savanna. I photographed this one smiling for the camera in a private concession of the Masai Mara in Kenya. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 800, f/5.6 at 1/640th of a second
It must be something to see one of those little guys in the field. If you hadn’t provided its specs, probably most viewers would not perceive it to be so tiny. Looks can be deceiving.
