Common Duiker I managed to catch a snap on this duiker snififng at me in the shade of a bush. She was very skittish and didn't stay there long. She is a rescue animal that was orphaned. She was taken in and raised by humans, but is very wary of new people. Common duiker,Geotagged,Spring,Sylvicapra grimmia,Zimbabwe Click/tap to enlarge Country intro

The common duiker, ''Sylvicapra grimmia'', also known as the grey or bush duiker, is a small antelope with small horns found in west, central, east, and southern Africa- essentially everywhere in Africa south of the Sahara, excluding the Horn of Africa and the rainforests of the central and western parts of the continent. Generally, they are found in habitats with sufficient vegetation cover to allow them to hide—savanna and hilly areas, including the fringes of human settlements.
