Red forest duikers, Natal duiker, or Natal red duiker is a small antelope found in central to southern Africa. They favor dense mountains and coastal bush habitats.
This range includes southeastern Tanzania, Malawi, extreme northeastern Zambia, Mozambique, Swaziland, southeastern Zimbabwe, and northwest South Africa.
Leaves, flowers, and fruits that have fallen from trees make up the main diet. Low-growing shrubs also provide food during daylight hours. Because these small cannot digest fiber well, they act as concentrated feeders.
A hunched back with front legs shorter than the hind legs creates a crouched position. This trait allows the animal to leap quickly into a nearby brush when danger appears.
Rich reddish-brown color covers the body, while the underparts are a paler shade. White hair grows on the chin, throat, and insides of the ears. A tuft of reddish-brown and black hair grows between thorns. The tail has a white tip.
