How to look the smallest, but most loyal antelope (video)
They choose their mate for life.
In savannas and semi-deserts of Africa, from Namibia to Somalia, live in the smallest antelope in the world — diklici.
Delicate creatures do not grow higher than 30-40 centimeters and weigh as plump cat: not more than 6 kg. Day dikdik hiding in the bushes, and morning and evening muster up the courage and come into the open in search of food.
Small antelopes are known for their loyalty. They mate for life. During the mating season, the males practically do not depart from the females, and at another time spend with them more than half the time, and “bastard” ties almost never happen.

Didici so miniature, like they were created by elves. But they are perfectly able to fend for themselves. Antelope mark territory with dung and if the stranger violates “the border,” ignominiously banished insolent.
Scientists jokingly proclaimed males dindikov real men: they do everything to protect their females and not proud of his growth. But in the height of the boys did not even reach his girls.
