duiker, the black-rumped duiker, the Uganda 
duiker, the blue duiker, the Nyasa duiker, Heck’s 
duiker, the Urori duiker, Erwin’s duiker, and I

other animals. But there is. For instance, there’s

animals can be. They are all small, the dik-dik 
being scarcely larger than a rabbit, and they are 
divided into as many subspecies as the duiker. A 
list of the different kinds of oribi would take up

We found thousands of oribi on the Guas Ngishu
