SMALL ANTELOPE OF AFRICA
| Common Duiker Small, grayish-buff to red-yellow with lighter under parts and a darker broad band from the horns to the nostrils, these solitary antelope are very secretive. They can subsist in very dry areas, rarely drinking water. Being browsers, they seldom eat grass and may also eat berries, and even carrion, termites, and small birds. |
 Damara Dik-DikThis small antelope is best described as dainty. Hair on the forehead can be raised as a crest, and large preorbital glands are used for scent marking. Found in dense woodland and thickets or stony areas in Venetia Limpopo, they move in small family groups or a single animals. Leaping in stiff-legged bounces and whistling, they run from danger. They do not need standing water, but salt is essential.

 SteenbokSteenbok are small, solitary, wildly distributed antelope that prefer open county and largely absent from dense forest. Only the males have horns. Steenbok will lie quietly in hiding from predators, running only at the last moment |
