The host of the “Creature Feature” podcast has a policy of soliciting DikDik pics. I suspect that some people probably intentionally mishear that tho.

I took this photo in South Sudan. This guy worked for the Department of Wildlife and Tourism.

EDIT: I’m referring to the human. I don’t know where the dik-dik worked.

The dik-dik worked… on the handlers! Cuteness = Power

I can see why people would want to share pictures of these guys. Pretty cool critters.

The other kind of picture that we’re making fun of here? I will never understand the appeal.
