Description
The damara dik dik [Madoqua kirki] is an inhabitant of dense shrub and thicket with closed canopy cover, which provide shade and protection from predators. Rocky areas with little grass are also frequented. The Damara Dik-Dik is distributed through south western Angola, central and north western Namibia. The dik-dik is a rare and therefore protected species.
The males are smaller and lighter than the females. The two sexes are respectively 386 mm by 5.1 kg and 394 mm by 5.6 kg. Only the rams have horns which can attain a length of 80 mm.
Females give birth to one fawn each year during the rainy season. Gestation period is between is 166-172 days.
Pairs bond for life and males are dominant. Males do not help with the rearing of young and cover the female's scent markings with their own in order to maintain the pair bond.
