Father and Son Lions Reunite After Powerful Roars in the Night

Roaring Into The Night!

Tiny Antelopes, Big Differences

Ever spotted a small antelope on our live cameras and wondered what it was? Here’s how to tell these petite species apart:

Dik-dik

Where? East Africa (Lentorre & Serengeti Explorer)
Size: Extremely small (30-40 cm shoulder height)
Look for: Long pointed mobile nose, huge dark eyes with white rings, tuft of hair on the forehead, and males have short spiky horns
Behaviour: Often in pairs, flicking their little noses - named for their “dik-dik” alarm call

Duiker

Where? Across Africa
Size: Varies by species, but generally stocky with a hunched back and short legs
Look for: Rounded bodies, small heads, slightly backward-curving horns (if male), and a distinctive dark stripe on the face in some species
Behaviour: Shy, often seen darting into bushes - “duiker” means “diver” in Afrikaans

Steenbok

Where? Southern and Eastern Africa
Size: About 45-60 cm at the shoulder - taller and leggier than dik-diks
Look for: Slender build, long thin legs, large upright ears with black markings inside, and small straight horns in males
Behaviour: Often seen alone in open grasslands, sitting or standing still to blend in
