A Photo-Identification Guide to Duikers and Other African Forest Antelopes

Here’s a useful (and free) new guide to one of my favouite mammal groups – the duikers – plus a few other bonus forest antelope thrown in. A big thank you to the IUCN SSC Antelope Specialist Group for putting this together.

I know from bitter experience how difficult some of these are to ID in the field given the sorts of views you often get. So I am sure this will help. I also know from bitter experience how hard many of these species are to even glimpse in the first place but I live in hope….

Thanks Zarek Cockar for sending it through to me.
