Black Duiker

The Black Duiker is a small, elusive antelope from the forests of West and Central Africa, and spotting one at Zoo Miami in Richmond West feels like finding a hidden gem within the park. Compact and quick, duikers are rarely seen clearly in the wild, which makes the exhibit here all the more rewarding. Its dark coat and low-slung build make it well suited to slipping through dense undergrowth, and observing this behavior in a naturalistic setting is genuinely interesting. Wildlife enthusiasts and curious visitors will appreciate this quieter corner of Zoo Miami.
