Description
Gunther’s dik-dik male skull replica measures 4.7 x 2.2 x 2.4 inches. The Madoqua guentheri is a museum-quality polyurethane resin cast of a California Academy of Sciences specimen. 2-part skull (separate cranium and mandible). 1:1 scale. Made in USA.
Gunther’s dik-dik comes from the arid lowlands of Eat Africa. Areas like Ethiopia, northern and eastern Keyna, Somalia, southeastern Sudan, and Uganda form their geographic range. Arid bushes, thick scrublands, and dry woodlands provide their favorite living environments.
Leaves, shoots, flowers, and fallen fruits supply nourishment for these tiny animals. Succulent plants provide all necessary moisture, so adults rarely need to find water sources.
Females produce a fawn twice each year. Rapid breeding cycles ensure steady population growth in harsh desert environments.
Fully grown adults weigh between six and eleven pounds. Yellowish-gray or reddish-brown fur covers the back and sides. Cream or white coloring stretches across the belly, chin, breast, throat, and inner thighs.
Black hooves line the feet. Short tails grow less than two inches long. Males grow short horns reaching nearly four inches long. Females lack horns but grow larger than the males.
