"Like all even-toed ungulates, they digest their food with the aid of microorganisms in the their four-chambered stomach"
They are a favorite of many animals, particularly cheetahs.
"Dik-diks are hunted primarily by monitor lizards, and smaller cats such as the caracal, as well as lions, hyenas, wild dogs, and humans. The dik-dik's other predators are leopards, cheetahs, jackals, baboons, eagles, hawks and pythons."

An even-toed ungulate is a type of mammal that has hooves with an even number of toes. Examples include deer, pigs, camels, and giraffes.
The first letter "d" and sixth letter "k" are called "checked letters" and indicate that the answer to the crossword clue will have a "d" as the first letter and a "k" as the sixth letter.
There are over 200 species of even-toed ungulates, including both wild and domesticated animals.
Even-toed ungulates are primarily herbivores, meaning they mainly eat plants. However, some species, such as pigs and peccaries, are omnivores and will also eat meat.
Even-toed ungulates have an even number of toes on each foot, while odd-toed ungulates have an odd number of toes. Even-toed ungulates also have a four-chambered stomach, while odd-toed ungulates have a three-chambered stomach.
