Don't worry if you've never heard of dik-diks; we hadn't either! But we suggest you get to know these delightfully cute animals, who are actually the world's smallest antelope species.

Dik-diks mostly live in eastern and southern Africa, and they grow to be only about 12 to 16 inches tall (imagine?!).

This particular baby dik-dik, whose name is Neyo, is only eight inches tall. He's being raised by zookeepers at the Chester Zoo in the U.K. after his mom rejected him.

Hiding behind Neyo's tuft of hair are small horns, which is how we know he's a boy (as female dik-diks don't have horns). We love how handsome he is as he mugs for the camera!
