  ANTELOPE,
The term antelope does not designate a sharply defined group; members of the group are included in all the five subfamilies of Bovidae: the Bovinae, the Cephalophinae, the Hippotraginae, the Antilopinae, and the Caprinae.
Antelope of the subfamily Bovinae are the oxlike giant eland; the kudu; the broad-horned, elusive bongo; the East African dik-dik, the smallest in this subfamily; the shy four-horned antelope; the marshbuck, or sitatunga; the nyala; and the nilgai, or blue bull, which is revered in India for its color.
When frightened, they dive through the bushes and then stand on their hindlegs to look around.

 Comparative Placentation
The cytochrome b study of Matthee and Robinson (1999) made the klipspringer a sister taxon of the Cephalophinae which is supported by those species all having similar numbers and structures of their chromosomes (see chapter on Yellow-backed duiker).
Similar to the Cephalophinae, this placenta has a simple cuboidal trophoblastic cover of villi with a small number of binucleate cells.

DUIKER (diver), or DUIKERBOK, the Dutch name of a small S. African antelope, scientifically known as Cephalophus grimmi; the popular name alluding to its habit of diving into and threading its way through thick bush.
Scientifically the name is extended to include all the members of the African genus Cephalophus, which, together with the Indian chousingha, or four-horned antelope (Tetraceros), constitutes the subfamily Cephalophinae.
Duikers are animals of small or medium size, usually frequenting thick forest.

The genus Cephalophus is derived from kephale (Greek), the head, and lophus (Greek), a crest, referring to the prominent tuft of hair on the forehead of most duiker species.
Many duikers are found to the west of Nigeria in rainforests and other wooded areas.

Kingdon (198) thinks this line gave rise in the late Miocene to the Cephalophinae which became specialized to tropical forest habitats and Reduncinae which exploited valley grasslands.
The Cephalophinae (duikers) are a primitive subfamily adapted to lowland and mountain forests except for several members which extend into savanna areas.
They are small browsing animals with forelegs shorter than the hind giving them a peculiar wedge-shaped conformation.
