Duiker – Grey

Sylvicapra grimmia

The Dappled Denizen of African Forests

The Grey Duiker, a small and charming antelope, is a resident of the African forests and woodlands.

These petite creatures are recognized by their greyish-brown fur adorned with faint dappled markings, which provide excellent camouflage amidst the forest foliage. Grey Duikers typically stand at a modest 45-55 cm tall at the shoulder and weigh approximately 5-15 kg.

Their habitat preference in dense forests and their discreet behavior make Grey Duikers elusive and challenging to observe in their natural environment.

They are primarily browsers, nourishing themselves with leaves, fruits, and other vegetation found in the forest understory.

Fun fact

Grey Duikers are known for their distinctive alarm call — a sharp, dog-like bark — which is unusual among small antelope and often alerts other animals to nearby danger.
