Dik-diks stand about 30–40&nbsp;cm (12–16&nbsp;in) at the shoulder, are 50–70&nbsp;cm (20–28&nbsp;in) long, weigh 3–6&nbsp;kg (7–16&nbsp;lb) and can live for up to 10 years. Dik-diks are named after the alarm calls of the females. In addition to the females' alarm call, both males and females make a shrill, whistling sound. These calls may alert other animals to [[predators]]. The dik-dik is a favourite [[prey]] of the [[cheetah]]. There are four species: *Günther's dik-dik ''Madoqua guentheri'' *Kirk's dik-dik ''Madoqua kirkii'' *Silver dik-dik ''Madoqua piacentinii'' *Salt's dik-dik ''Madoqua saltiana'' == References == {{reflist}} [[Category:Bovids]] [[Category:Mammals of Africa]]
