About Blue duiker
Blue duiker is a small forest dwelling duiker found in the Central Africa and southern South Africa.Blue duiker live mainly in rainforests, where they eat fruit, flowers and leaves, which have fallen from the canopy as well as eggs, and insects. It is, in turn, the prey of the Crowned Eagle. Blue duiker are nocturnal and solitary or form mating pairs. They are very territorial animals, patrolling the borders of their territory and marking it with their dung and excretions from glands above their hooves and under their eyes. They will chase off any intruders and only tolerate their children's presence until they reach 18 months.
