The Damara Dik-Dik (also known as Kirk's Dik-Dik) has an elongated, mobile muzzle, which it uses to search for its favourite food: it stands on its hind legs if necessary to reach for a succulent shoot, flower or fruit. Due to its small body size it has to feed on plant parts with a high nutrient content. When feeding dik-dik tend to have an active period, followed by rest: these alternate throughout the day. Although the main periods of activity are during the morning and late afternoon, it is possible to see individuals feeding even during the heat of the day. Dik-dik are independant of drinking water, but will drink from puddles when it is available.See less »
