Astounding creatures.
Needs moar push notification…
Some of my cats are bigger than that.
Did you just let an opportunity to made a pussy joke slip by?
I have sent women unsolicited dik dik pics. They always reacted positively
Ok, the ones with the protuberant proboscises are a bit alarming, honestly.
Idk, it sort of draws a line from the interestingly weird extinct mammal species to ones still with us, like this extinct giraffe relative i found when I was looking to see if the Vietnamese mouse-deer is related to dik diks:
This has really put the Springbok in my step.
These little suckers are just ludicrously adorable! I want to frolic with them!
The host of the “Creature Feature” podcast has a policy of soliciting DikDik pics. I suspect that some people probably intentionally mishear that tho.
They look like some early prehistoric mammal.
I was close!
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.
HR? He was just giving it a lift to work?
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.
