Best Answer

Some might say the answer is simple, hunters kill the silver Dik-Dik for its soft silver coat. The coats can be sold for a lot of money.

However, scientists are learning that the Dik-Dik found in Zoos nowadays are actually hybrids of different species of Dik-Diks. This proves a huge problem because these hybrids are sterile and cannot reproduce.
