- dik-dik duiker species list
I will say, I don't mean to be that guy, but the taxonomy you are using is a bit outdated. Steenbok and Dik-diks belong to the Tribe Antilopini and Klipspringer are in their own tribe, Oreotragini. The tribe name Neotragini is reserved for Royal antelope, Bate's pygmy antelope, and Suni.
Neither San Diego Zoo nor Safari Park keeps yellow-backed duiker anymore and the Safari Park no longer houses Kirk's dik-dik.
The one signed as Cavendish's?
Yes, if I'm not mistaken Cavendish's is a subspecies of Kirk's. They are still at the zoo, however.
That depends on the taxonomy you adhere to, the traditional systematics list Cavendish's dik-dik as a subspecies of Kirk's dik-dik, however Ungulate Taxonomy (Groves & Grubb 2011) list Cavendish's dik-dik as their own full species. I wonder if any interbreeding has occured between the Cavendish's dik-diks and generic Kirk's dik-dik in United States zoos.
Thanks for letting me know, I wasn't aware of that. The individuals at SDZ are signed as Cavendish's and so were the Safari Park's when they were there. I would hope the Cavendish's population in the US is pure but I'm not sure.
Maybe email the Kirk's dik-dik studbook keeper? I will say that one of the ZSSD parks, I think the Wild Animal Park did sent Cavendish's dik-dik to Rotterdam Zoo relatively recently, but sadly they are no longer kept in Rotterdam.
Here's what I currently have for each of these.

No longer listed on San Francisco's website, and missing from Hipporex's list from there in Aug as well.
SDZ should still have them.
Safari Park doesn't have them on display that I know of, could be one/some bts potentially.
I believe Phoenix Zoo shipped out their Kirk's dik-dik unless any are off exhibit.
I don’t think an update to this thread is really all that necessary. We already have a thread dedicated to the entire Ungulate population, so why bother updating this one?
Gotcha. To be honest I don't know much about small ungulate taxonomy; I just used the taxonomy as it's currently listed on Wikipedia. I probably wasn't the person to make this thread, but at the time people seemed to be making a lot of inquiries about them and it was a relatively easy niche for me to fill.
While I appreciate everyone's contributions over the past 12 hours or so, I agree with @Dhole dude that this thread now overlaps with @ThylacineAlive's Where do the Deer & Antelope Play?: A Look at America's Ungulate Populations thread (which was started 4 months after this one) so these updates should be probably be transferred to that one either now or whenever they are ready to be received on there.
Posting that quick list helps with the big thread, since there were several updates we didn't have. Updating the deer and antelope thread has frankly been overwhelming for Thylo and I, and there's a lot of work still to go. These species have short lists and are rarely outside of AZA, so were much easier to share.
Kirk's and Cavendish's Dik-Dik have differing number of chromosomes and, based on known hybridization within European zoos, hybrids between them produce infertile females. These are the reasons I personally split the two. Additionally, I do believe the entire US and European (or at least most of the European) populations are likely all pure M. cavendishi.

Thank you, I didn't realize that, but that makes perfect sense. I would like to see some genetic tests conducted to make sure this is the case for certain! Where did you learn about their chromosomes?
I first heard it from a friend and former member from Europe. The same person also showed me the import records showing that the vast majority of dik-dik brought into Europe hail from Tanzania, and simply using ZTL one can link most holders back to these imports. While there have been known hybridizations in the past, since females are sterile I would imagine it is unlikely any hybrid lines survived until today as it would mean hybrid males would have to consistently breed with purebred females who produce male offspring who breed with purebred females, etc.
