A red-flanked duiker, born Jan.
30, is on exhibit with its m other at

the sm allest m em bers o f the ante
lope family.
A ccording to zookeepers, the
fem ale calf is healthy and w eighs
about three pounds
D uikers are not endangered, but
is threatened by decreasing num
bers due to the bush m eat trade
crisis in Africa.
D uikers are found throughout
sub-Saharan A frica, in wetlands,
rainforests and heavy tim ber for
est. D u ik ers are c la s s ifie d as
frugivores. In the wild they brow se
or graze on grass, leaves, shrubs
and trees, but the main com ponent
o f their diet consists o f wild fruits
and v eg etab les, such as yam s,
s w e e t p o ta to e s an d c a r ro ts .
T h ey ’ve also have been observed
eating carrion and insects, so they
have a protein need in their diet,
