Did I mention your name? No, I mentioned Moebelle...????
And there really is no need for the gallery to be updated every week unless the zoo continues to change on a weekly basis!
To be fair we Californians do put a lot of photos into the LA Zoo and San Diego Zoo galleries quite often.
This comment thread now has nothing to do with the photo it is attached to. To get back on topic, does anybody know what species of dik dik it is? Is it a Kirk's as Brum hypothesized?

Of the multiple species, only a handful have ever been seen in captivity. Groves and Grubb taxonomy changes much of what we know. Of the animals in captivity in the US, there are Smith's (Madoqua (guentheri) smithi) and Cavendish's (Madoqua cavendishi) (formerly a subspecies of Kirk's). The easiest way to tell the difference is that the Gunther's group has an extremely long proboscis while the Kirk's group has a much shorter one.
