    I've gotten to interact with a dik dik once and it was yee, but this is a C-tier animal compared to the similarly-sized muntjac deer. I've worked with these a lot and apart from the fangs on the males, which can shred your leg if they get territorial, they're such amazing animals. Very sweet and smart.

    edit: And their nose is perpetually wetter than a dog's. They constantly lick the entire thing.

      Oh shit, is that why they have those horns? Great deterrent to accidentally being stepped on
