Double dik! It is a small antelope that lives in the bushlands of eastern and southern Africa.

The name dik-dik comes from an onomatopoeia of the repetitive dik sound female dik-diks whistle through their long, tubular snouts when they feel threatened. Reminds me of that time when Mercedes-Benz entered the Chinese market under the brand name “Bensi” which means “rush to die.” You should always check meanings in other languages when naming animals or cars.
