Red Duiker

Red duiker is a species of small antelope native to the forests of West and Central Africa. They are known for their distinctive red-brown coat and their compact size, making them well-suited to life in dense forest environments. Red duikers feed on a variety of vegetation, including leaves, buds, fruits, and shoots, and they are active both day and night.
