Pronunciation? edit

According to <ref name="EllisNTB"> {{cite book| last = Ellis| first = Richard| authorlink = Richard Ellis (biologist) | title = No Turning Back: The Life and Death of Animal Species| publisher = Harper Perrenial | date = 2004| location = New York| pages = 261| isbn =0-06-055804-0 }}</ref>, duiker is pronounced dye-ker. Does this merit a mention in the article? Rufous-crowned Sparrow (talk) 21:03, 13 April 2008 (UTC)Reply


Much of this is taken word-for-word from this documentary: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ommmaHpqQH8

Image Caption Error edit

I have just fixed an error in the caption for the picture at the beginning of the page. It was labelled as Maxwell's Duiker but is in fact Red Forest Duiker. Jubblubs (talk) 20:43, 2 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

Request for improvement in the language of a sentence edit

The following line in the Ecology portion :

Before intervention, the system of specialized resources in which larger duikers exploit a particular type of food and smaller duikers on another, is functional as modeled in the diurnal and nocturnal nature of the duikers;

is not well written - In particular it is not easy to understand - I suggest to

put a comma after "the system of specialized resources"

remove preposition on from "smaller duikers on another" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.203.75.143 (talk) 05:13, 21 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

I can't parse this sentence in the Diet section, and wonder if anyone who knows more about duikers wants to take a cut at correcting it: "For such reasons, duikers readjusting to novel environments created by human settlements and deforestation is not easy."

Culinary Issues edit

I would to see a discussion of culinary issues. What does duiker taste like? Can anyone provide some practical tips on preparation, maybe some recipes? 192.40.24.4 (talk) 17:19, 21 April 2017 (UTC) ShandafirdieReply
