Description

The Western Bush Duiker (Sylvicapra grimmia) is a highly adaptable antelope found throughout much of Tanzania and West to Central Africa. It thrives in a wide range of environments—from savannas and grasslands to forest edges and agricultural zones.

Duikers are small, solitary, and highly alert antelopes known for their ability to “dive” into cover at the first sign of danger. This particular specimen comes from Tanzania and features a Silver SCI Score of 12 12/16, with sharply curved horns and sleek reddish-brown fur.

These animals are omnivores, consuming leaves, fruits, herbs, fungi, and even small animals. Their diet and behavior help them survive in diverse environments across the African continent.
