The second new animal for the day was a black-backed jackal. They were actually quite attractive little creatures, larger than the dik-dik and looking very much like a dog.

The two new animals of the day (not counting birds)
The Dik-Dik is Africa's smallest antelope, and are about the size of a terrier. Despite the fact that I dislike the word "cute," in this case it fits. After this first siting, they sprang from the brush every 15 minutes or so. It seemed that suddenly they were everywhere. Reminds me of a song from my childhood - "With a dik-dik here, and a dik-dik there...." Oh, never mind.
The second new animal for the day was a black-backed jackal. They were actually quite attractive little creatures, larger than the dik-dik and looking very much like a dog.
