    Here is some behaviour I have never seen before.

    This Dikdik was having a dispute with the male next door and raised his crest, another 2 to 3 cms when you are that small must make all of the difference.

    Not all that useful light and it happened so quickly that I only got a few frames.

    Taken where else but Dikdik Drive, Etosha National Park, Namibia, 29th June 2011.

    Had a laugh when I read the image title, can't imagine these timid guys ever getting angry!

    He sure looks angry Ken. Challenging light well handled.

    I like the lighting, the shadows add some depth. Interesting to see the raised crest. With those big eyes, they have a hard time looking angry!

    Thanks to everybody for your kind comments, they are much appreciated.

    I thought that this "unusual" behaviour was worthy of posting despite the difficult circumstances and less than perfect result, I am very glad you all enjoyed it, they are just too beautiful.
