Description

The Yellowback Duiker (Cephalophus silvicultor) is one of the largest and most distinctive forest duikers in Africa. Its name comes from the light golden-yellow patch of fur along its back, which stands out against its otherwise dark coat and helps it blend into sun-dappled rainforest environments.

Native to the dense tropical forests of Central and West Africa, this species is known for its secretive behavior and powerful build. It is an omnivore, feeding on fallen fruits, fungi, leaves, and occasionally small birds or reptiles.

This full-body mount presents the duiker in a natural walking stance, positioned on a realistic base that highlights its form and color contrast. Ideal for museum displays, exotic décor, or collectors seeking an authentic rainforest species.
