    Dikdik: it's similar to the klipspringer, but gets its name from the sound it makes as it's running away.

    I like the name Phascogale and their pretty cute too!
    I see them often around my parents place in Christmas Hills, Kangaroo Ground and Bend of Islands in Victoria Australia.

    Phascogale Fas-cog-ale Fas(like fascinating) cog(like dog) ale(as in the alcoholic beverage)

    I also see many baby wombats and their pretty cute too but in a different way. Their more like wind up mechanical toys with their little waddley trot. Very cute. Shame that they communicate by nipping at your heels. Ouch!
