A duiker is a small to medium-sized brown antelope native to sub-Saharan Africa, found in heavily wooded areas. The 22 extant species, including three that are sometimes considered to be subspecies of the other species, form the subfamily Cephalophinae or the tribe Cephalophini.
The common name “duiker” comes from the Afrikaans word duik, or Dutch duiken – both mean “to dive”, which refers to the practice of the animals to frequently dive into vegetation for cover.
