While in Kenya, I was able to photograph two different species of dik-dik, Africa’s smallest antelope species. This is the Günther’s dik-dik. This species can be identified by the light-colored tuft of hair on the top of the head. The diminutive size of these antelope’s is always a bit surprising when spotting them moving through their grassland habitat. Nikon D500 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 360mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/1000th of a second.

Man, your breakup with Gunther must have been pretty bad if you’re posting pictures of his Dik-Dik online and telling everyone how small it is.
Such a tiny dik-dik, such a great big eye!
Wonderful. Should be renamed Guenther’s Big Eyed Dik Dik. Exactly how small? As small as a red fox?
Just delightful!
