Compare And Contrast Bush Duikers And Forest
There are two different groups of Duikers: Bush and Forest. Bush Duikers and the Forest Duikers have a different look. Forest Duikers have a pair of small ears, are hunched over with almost no tail and are a bit hefty. They aren’t able to run fast because they have short legs. The Bush Duikers are basically the exact opposite, they have big ears, are less hunched over and are more slender. They also are lighter in color and they have longer legs too so they can run faster. Female Duikers are bigger than male Duikers but usually don’t have horns/antlers. Male Duikers are small but also have horns/antlers.
