Aders’ duiker — size comparison — facts and sources
Aders' duiker inhabits forest thickets in Zanzibar and coastal Kenya. It uses dense vegetation that shelters it from danger. Known sites are separated from one another; some island populations originate from introductions.
It feeds mainly by day, beginning its food search in the morning. At midday it rests and ruminates, then may resume feeding in the afternoon. It eats fruit and leaves. It also uses fruit knocked down by birds and monkeys in tree crowns.
It is most often seen alone. It is shy, listens alertly and quickly hides in scrub. Moisture contained in food helps it function in dry habitats.
