Hunting Blue Duiker in Africa

The Blue Duiker is the smallest antelope in Southern Africa.  The coat is blue-grey. These hunting species are non-seasonal breeders. Both sexes carry short sharp horns, which are often concealed by a tuft of hair. Single fawns are born, weighing 400 grams. Young are hidden for the first few weeks after birth, and later driven from the parent’s territory when sexually matured at about 388 days.  The Blue Duiker is widely distributed from the Eastern Cape to parts of West Africa. However, as a consequence of its habitat preference the distribution range is as disjunct as is the indigenous evergreen forests they frequent.
