Description

The savanna in Kenya is home to an adorable creature that looks like a baby deer. They are tiny members of the cow family called dikdiks. These animals, which are no bigger than a child's tricycle, live in family units of three in territories that range from 100 to 250 meters square. They may by tiny, but they are certainly not weak. When a leopard comes along, they make a quick exit, nimbly moving through tightly packed bushes at speeds up to 60 kilometers per hour and leaping over obstacles in their way. Follow these tiny dikdiks whose body is their ultimate defense.
