		The Ader's Duiker (Cephalophus adersi) is an endangered species accepted to be extinct in its original range on the African mainland coastal thicket and forests of the Kenyan coast.

	Duikers - Little Diving Antelope
		The highly endangered Ader's Duiker is restricted to small patches of remnant forest on Kenya's coast and the island of Zanzibar, and ways are currently being explored to establish a satellite population of these little antelope on the tiny but secure Mnemba Island (north-east of Zanzibar's main Unguja Island).
		Duikers all have a compact body and wedge-shaped head, with both males and females having short, backward pointing horns (except in a few species), often hidden by a tuft of coarse hair.
		The Grey Duiker is widespread throughout Africa (outside of the equatorial forest) and is commonly encountered during both day and night, at virtually all of CC Africa's safari lodges, including Ngala, Bongani, Matetsi and Grumeti.

	Ader's duiker
		Ader's duiker was interpreted by Kingdon (1982) as representative of the primitive evolutionary stock from which all modern duiker species radiated.
		Ader's duiker is highly sought in the market place due to its "sweet" meat and beautiful skin (Kanga, 1995).
		The pelage of Ader's duiker is soft and silky, with no marked change in texture from the neck to the body proper (Kingdon, 1982).

	ARTIODACTYLA
		The Aders� duiker occurs only on Zanzibar (Tanzania) and in Kenya's Arabuko-Sokoke forest (Wilson and Reeder, 1993; East, 1996).
		The total amount protected is however very small and this and the small size of the total population require that the species be classified as Endangered.
		Tab 8.6.47.c: Percent of environmental suitability classes within EO (as obtained from the categorical-discrete distribution model) inside and outside the protected areas.

	Arabuko Sokoke National Park - Enpsychlopedia
		The endearing Golden-rumped Elephant Shrew, an endemic elephant shrew the size of a rabbit, is the most noticeable of the park's endemic mammals, the Sokoke Bushy-tailed Mongoose and Ader's Duiker (found only here and in Zanzibar) are more elusive.
		The park adjoins Mida Creek, a mangrove forest that is an important shorebird wintering ground, protecting species such as the Terek Sandpiper and the Crab Plover.
		The Clark's Weaver is completely endemic to the forest, while the emonymous Sokoke Scops Owl, Sokoke Pipit, and the Amani Sunbird and Spotted Ground Thrush are found only here and in a forest fragment in Tanzania.

	Arabuko-Sokoke Forest
		The forest has a small population of elephant, buffalo and six species of small antelope, one of which, the Ader's Duiker, is globally endangered.
		Mongoose, bush babies and genet cat can sometimes be seen at night, while the Caracal and the endangered Golden-Rumped Elephant Shrew are often visible during the day.
		Butterflies are abundant in the forest especially during the rainy season, with one third of Kenya's 870 species being found here.

	ASSETS Threats
		Hunting for food is a direct threat to several of the endangered forest mammals, including Ader's Duiker and the Golden- rumped Elephant Shrew.
		It is thought that the rare Sokoke Scops Owl and Golden-rumped Elephant Shrew may use its naturally hollowed trunk as a nesting site.
		A recent study showed that pole poachers have depleted the forest of mature, seed- producing trees and now resort to cutting younger trees, with serious consequences for the forest.

	// Zanzibar Safari Club // Sitemap
		In Jozani, much of Zanzibar’s wildlife is congregated, and thus it is easy to see, besides the Red Colobus, Sykes Monkeys, the rare Ader’s Duiker, Suni Antelope (the tiniest antelope in the world) and bush pigs.
		The Red Colobus Monkeys are very social, and live in groups; in every group, there are usually only from one to four adult males, with many more adult females and young of different ages.
		The back of the head of a Red Colobus Monkey and back are very red, separated by a black stripe across the shoulders that continues down the arms.

	Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Northern Zanzibar-Inhambane coastal forest mosaic (AT0125)
		Strict endemics include Ader’s duiker (Cephalophus adersi, EN), Pemba flying fox (Pteropus voeltzkowi, CR), two other poorly known bat species (Chalinolobus kenyacola, DD) and (Pipistrellus permixtus, DD), golden-rumped elephant shrew (Rhynchocyon chrysopygus, EN), Tana River Red colobus (Procolobus rufomitratus, CR), the agile mangabey (Cercocebus galeritus galeritus, CR) and the rodent Grammomys caniceps.
		This high rate of species richness is due to the mixing of habitats in the ecoregion, and hence the large number of savanna, wetland and forest species which can be found in close proximity.
		Larger mammals in the ecoregion are generally habitat specialists that take advantage of the forest patches, but cross to open savanna and grasslands.

		The parks outlined above make up just a small portion of the total areas of natural beauty and interest (concerning flora & fauna) that you can visit while on safari in Kenya.
		The central highlands of Kenya and Laikipia also have a lot to offer you outside of the National Parks on private ranches.
