This is a Dik-dik, a small antelope which is common in East Africa. They are so named for the alarm calls of the females. In addition to the alarm call, males and females can make a shrill whistling sound. Dik-diks mate for life, and where you see one you will invariably find the other one nearby. In fact, if one of a pair falls to a predator, the other will likely die of loneliness. |
