ZEBRA DUIKER Latin Name: Cephalophus zebra Also known as the Banded or Striped-back Duiker, this diminutive antelope species is found in the lowland primary rain forests of West Africa. Thought to be one of the earliest of the Duiker species to evolve, they’re tiny (30-35 inches long, weighing 40-45 pounds), with short, sharp horns. Their Zebra-like stripes help them hide from the many predators that eat them. They also have super-powerful nasal bones, which allow them to use their face to crack open the tough exterior of certain fruits. #info
