  Black Duiker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Black Duiker (Cephalophus niger also known as Tuba in Dyula) is a forest dwelling Duiker found in the southern parts of Sierra Leone, Liberia, Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, Benin and Nigeria.
Black Duiker live mainly in lowland rainforest, where they eat fruit, flowers and leaves, which have fallen from the canopy.
Black Duiker are probably diurnal, though this is surmised only from captive specimens.

A duiker is any of about 19 small to medium-sized antelope species native to sub-Saharan Africa.

They supplement their diet with meat: duikers take insects and carrion from time to time, and even stalk and capture rodents or small birds.

In the reptile hall, where visitors were walking between vegetation, glass roofs could be moved to allow direct sunlight to reach the animals, and in the crocodile area a tropical thunderstorm was presented daily.
Simultaneously, new techniques in exhibit equipment were tested, like an artificial termite mound for zebras to scratch themselves at, outdoor heating beams for meerkats, and flexible monkey flaps that allowed the animals to go indoors or outdoors as they wanted.
From its early days, breeding and conservation of rare species has been one of the major tasks of Frankfurt zoo, resulting in a long list of species that were bred for the first time in captivity, such as maned wolf, bonobo, fl duiker, gerenuk, rusty-spotted cat, white-headed wood-hoopoe, yellow-headed and red-headed rockfowl, and crocodile bird.
