The duiker, a small antelope species native to Africa, is a fascinating creature that captivates with its unique characteristics and behaviors. From the Blue Duiker resting gracefully on the grasslands of West Central to South Africa, to the Sahel or West African Bush Duiker captured in a timeless black and white photograph at London Zoo in 1927, these animals have left an indelible mark on our collective fascination. In another captivating image from July 1925, we witness a Duiker delicately feeding from a tray placed on the ground at London Zoo. The scene showcases their adaptability and resourcefulness as they navigate their surroundings with grace. One particular species that stands out is the Yellow-backed duiker, known scientifically as Cephalophus silvicultor. This striking animal boasts vibrant hues that perfectly complement its natural habitat. Amongst these remarkable creatures is also the Guinea antelope or common duiker (Sylvicapra grimmia), which adds diversity to this already intriguing family of animals. Their presence in various regions further highlights their ability to thrive across different landscapes. However, it is impossible not to mention the sole Hawker Duiker (J6918) - an individual who seems to have made quite an impression. Repeatedly mentioned throughout this collection of images, this particular duiker has undoubtedly left its mark on those fortunate enough to encounter it. As we delve into the world of these enchanting creatures through photographs like these and learn about their diverse species such as Cephalophus madoqua - commonly referred to as simply "Duikers" - we are reminded of nature's boundless beauty and complexity. These glimpses into their lives serve as reminders of how important it is for us all to appreciate and protect Earth's incredible biodiversity.
