dibatag (DIB-uh-tag) - n., a small antelope (Ammodorcas clarkei) of Ethiopia and Somalia with a long, slender neck, long tail, and recurved horns.


Or at least, the male has the horns. Often mistaken for a gazelle, especially the almost identically sized gerenuk.

Thanks, WikiMedia!

The name is from Somali dib-táag, from dib, tail + táag, strong/erect.
