Duiker

Cephalophinae

Description:

Duikers are shy and elusive creatures with a fondness for dense cover; most are forest dwellers and even the species living in more open areas are quick to disappear into thickets. Their name comes from the Dutch word for diver and refers to their practice of diving into tangles of shrubbery.

Habitat:

Seen at the Lilongwe Wildlife Sanctuary where they were being rehabilitated before release into a nature reserve
