Jentink's Duiker

Jentink's duiker, Cephalophus jentinki, also known as gidi-gidi in Krio and kaikulowulei in Mende, is a forest-dwelling duiker found in the southern parts of Liberia, southwestern Côte d'Ivoire and scattered enclaves in Sierra Leone. It is named in honour of Fredericus Anna Jentink. Standing around 80 centimetres at the shoulder and weighing about 70 kilograms, it is the largest species of duiker. It is gray from the shoulders back and dark black from the shoulders forward, with a white band over the shoulders and long thin horns of 14 to 21 centimetres that curl back a little. It lives mainly in very thick rainforest, is nocturnal, and is threatened primarily by habitat destruction and commercial bushmeat hunting.
