Hi Ian,
What a great report! I am currently working on a field guide/ID document for West-African squirrels and anomalures. I wanted to ask you some questions. At which email address can I reach you?
Cheers,

That’s a great trip report Ian. Well done on seeing the Zebra duiker – that’s a species that has been on my ‘desired’ list for a long time. Did the guides mention seeing Jentink’s duiker in that area?

We saw Jentink’s twice in that area.
Hi Charles. As “Thug Hamster” mentions, an earlier group in February saw them twice on the trails near Camp Chimpanzee. I spoke with the Ecotourisme Tai folks at Camp Mangabey and none of them had seen a Jentink’s Duiker, so I think sightings are uncommon. Having said that, I’m not aware of any other site that might give one a better chance of seeing Jentink’s.
