 Duiker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A duiker is any of about 19 small to medium-sized antelope species native to sub-Saharan Africa.
Duikers are shy and elusive creatures with a fondness for dense cover; most are forest dwellers and even the species living in more open areas are quick to disappear into thickets.
They are primarily browsers rather than grazers, eating leaves, shoots, seeds, fruit, buds and bark, and often follow flocks of birds or troops of monkeys to take advantage of the fruit they drop.

It and some of the slightly larger duikers might be suitable for household husbandry because their meat is an extremely popular food throughout much of Africa.

Geological activity in the South Western Coastal areas developed a chain of basins in response to the formation of the supercontinent Gondwana and into which the Malmesbury sediments were deposited between 750 and 600 million years ago.
Different stages of assimilation of the Malmesbury rocks are to be seen at St Helena Bay, which is a geological proof that the granites were molten when they intruded.

Evans said the new steel-hulled boat, powered by two V12 General Motors diesel engines and fitted out in Burma teak, was conceived not so much to replace the beloved but ageing Circe - soon to undergo a midlife refit - and her sister ship R9, but to provide passengers with a different experience.
