A small, gazelle-like hoofed mammal found in the semi-arid regions of Ethiopia and Somalia, known for its jumping ability.
From Somali dibatag. This word entered English directly from the native language of the animal's habitat, reflecting the creature's limited range and late scientific documentation.
The dibatag is so rare that scientists have studied it less than many dinosaurs—it wasn't formally described scientifically until 1888, and it can spring 6 feet in the air to escape predators. It's practically a ghost animal of the Horn of Africa.
