Talk:Dik-dik

message: The article as of a few days ago said there were three species, I corrected it to five species upon the basis of the statement "The five species of dik-dik, with the exception of Kirk's dik-dik, are only found in eastern and nor Wildlife Foundation], however Gdr has changed this number to four. Gdr added another source, so perhaps this source lists four species, but there is clearly a difference in sources. --Matthew 22:10, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: * I am strongly inclined to trust the sources found by  Gdr over the AWF, and have e-mailed their office to see if they are aware of the error, or if they have documentation of an additional species. --Matthew 22:31, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Number of species of dik-dik?

message: They eat Acasietrees. Saw it on a documentary on Animal Planet. "Walking with Mammals" or so by David Attenborough.
If someone knows, please add the other mammal that also eats from the acasietrees, giraffs, dik-diks and another one standing high on its backleggs.
They also eat dung-beetle rolls.

thread_title: Their food

message: "It is often believed that"... Suggest state who believes this, and cite a source.  Either that or just state that this happens, not that it is often believed that it happens. It is often believed that they eat food.

thread_title: Weasel words in section '''behavior'''

message: At 2007-04-13T01:53:16 this read "Dik-diks form monogamous relationships within defined territories." By 2007-04-13T15:09:50 it had been augmented with "Once one of the pair of life partners dies the remaining dik-dik will starve itself to death."; while this looks possible, it was added by 62.49.60.248 who also added "muffins" to the diet.
Then at 2007-04-14T09:00:23, 81.103.70.171 upgraded it to "Once one of the pair of life partners dies the remaining dik-dik will have a homsexual relationship with another widowed Dik Dik.", simultaneously reducing the age of sexual maturity from 8 months to 8 days. More recently Czj corrected the spelling and added a citation-needed tag.
I don't believe any of it. FJPB 20:43, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I have a clearer photograph of a male Dik-dik. Will anybody be offended if I add it or replace the exiting image?

message: The article's lead includes the phrase "and named for the sound it makes when alarmed". It would be quite helpful to include a couple of sound clips, since this topic is quite relevant to the article. Thank you.

thread_title:  Sound clips, please? 

message: I think this is an ambigious statement, since consuming water is considered drinking.
Dik-diks consume sufficient amounts of water for hydration, making drinking unnecessary
Maybe something like "consume sufficient amounts of moisture-laden vegetation for hydration" .. ?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeff.homme (talk • contribs) 05:52, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Self-referential statement 

message: I would like to add some more text to this article about evolutionary biology; does anyone know where some good, reliable sources on dik-dik evolution are located? Thank you all very much my fellow Wikipedians.

message: Someone should put population info so we can know the abundance of dik diks in the wild. One male, one female, and one baby. Don't you know? only three at a time. (The baby doesn't have a gender). Shadychiri (talk) 15:34, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

message: I suggest cutting the word "Apparently" in the second paragraph of physical descriptions. It comes off as overtly conversational in an otherwise informative text. GreenLionRamp (talk) 02:27, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
