Black duiker — size comparison — facts and sources
The black duiker occurs in West African forests, scrub and their margins. Dense vegetation provides concealment close to food.
It eats fruit, leaves, flowers and young shoots, occasionally also taking animal food. Fruit and fresh growth vary seasonally; daily feeding involves searching low vegetation and the ground.
Usually encountered alone or paired, it may remain associated with a particular area and use scent signals. Observations indicate variable activity times.
