Salt's Dik-Dik hunting

Salt’s Dik-dik, with their elongated snout, are easily recognisable. Even the literature and experts cannot agree on the number of different Dik-dik species classifications. They prefer more habitats than just the semi-arid regions like most species in this group. They are found in the countries Eritrea, Sudan, Somalia and hunted in Ethiopia.

Salt’s Dik-dik is a shy nocturnal animal, thus avoiding the midday heat. They are found in pairs or small groups and prefer to inhabit the cold to temperate climates as opposed to their close relatives. They have adapted to these climates by having a slow basal metabolic rate. Like all Dik-dik’s they are browsers and males will flare their crests as a sign of dominance. They are best hunted early in the morning by a slow walk and stalk through their preferred habitat.
