The dibatag, or Clark's gazelle, Ammodorcas clarkei, is an antelope found in sandy grasslands of Ethiopia and Somalia. Not a true gazelle, it is similarly marked, with a long, furry black tail which is raised in flight. This gives rise to its name, which means "erect tail" in Somali.
The dibatag is listed by the IUCN as "vulnerable" to extinction due to hunting and human disturbance (including war).
