  • Cephalophus Natalensis – Natal Red Duiker
    Cephalophus natalensis – Natal Red Duiker listed two subspecies, including C. n. natalensis from KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), eastern Mpumalanga and southern Mozambique, and C. n. robertsi Rothschild 1906 from Mozambique and the regions north of the Limpopo River (Skinner & Chimimba 2005). Assessment Rationale This species is restricted to forest patches within northeastern South Africa and Swaziland. They can occur at densities as high as 1 individual / ha. In KZN, there are an estimated 3,046–4,210 individuals in protected areas alone, with the largest subpopulation of 1,666–2,150 Sam Williams individuals occurring in iSimangaliso Wetland Park (2012– 2014 counts; Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife unpubl. data). This Regional Red List status (2016) Near Threatened subpopulation is inferred to have remained stable or B2ab(ii,v)* increased over three generations (2000–2015), as the previous assessment (2004, using count data from 2002) National Red List status (2004) Least Concern estimated subpopulation size as 1,000 animals. While no Reasons for change Non-genuine change: other provincial subpopulation estimates are available, New information they are regularly recorded on camera traps in the Soutpansberg Mountains of Limpopo and the Mariepskop Global Red List status (2016) Least Concern forests of Mpumalanga, including on private lands outside protected areas (S. Williams unpubl. data). TOPS listing (NEMBA) None Reintroductions are probably a successful conservation CITES listing None intervention for this species. For example, reintroduced individuals from the 1980/90s are still present in areas of Endemic No southern KZN and are slowly moving into adjacent *Watch-list Data farmlands (Y. Ehlers-Smith unpubl. data). The estimated area of occupancy, using remaining (2013/14 land cover) Although standing only about 0.45 m high forest patches within the extent of occurrence, is 1,800 (Bowland 1997), the Natal Red Duiker has km2.

Dama Road, Kenema, Sierra Leone We report here the first photographic evidence of Jentink’s duiker in Sierra Leone. Introduction Methods The forest ungulate Jentink’s duiker (Thomas, 1892, The Gola Forest Reserves (710 km2) comprise four blocks Cephalophus jentinki), is endemic to the western portion of located in southeastern Sierra Leone. The reserves are the Upper Guinea forest region (Ivory Coast, Liberia and not contiguous, but are divided by the main Freetown- Sierra Leone) and is one of the rarest duikers in Africa Monrovia highway (between Gola West and East) and (Davies & Birkenha¨ger, 1990). The paucity of information areas of community land (between Gola East and North on the size of the population, the small extent of their and its extension). The reserves were subjected to com- range, and the seriousness of threats from habitat loss and mercial selective logging in the 1960s to 1980s with the hunting that they have faced in the last twenty years have latter period characterised by destructive and unsustain- led to their recent upgrading from vulnerable to endan- able offtake.

  • Mammal Species Richness at a Catena and Nearby Waterholes During a Drought, Kruger National Park, South Africa
    diversity Article Mammal Species Richness at a Catena and Nearby Waterholes during a Drought, Kruger National Park, South Africa Beanélri B. Janecke Animal, Wildlife & Grassland Sciences, University of the Free State, 205 Nelson Mandela Road, Park West, Bloemfontein 9301, South Africa; [email protected]; Tel.: +27-51-401-9030 Abstract: Catenas are undulating hillslopes on a granite geology characterised by different soil types that create an environmental gradient from crest to bottom. The main aim was to determine mammal species (>mongoose) present on one catenal slope and its waterholes and group them by feeding guild and body size. Species richness was highest at waterholes (21 species), followed by midslope (19) and sodic patch (16) on the catena. Small differences observed in species presence between zones and waterholes and between survey periods were not significant (p = 0.5267 and p = 0.9139). In total, 33 species were observed with camera traps: 18 herbivore species, 10 carnivores, two insectivores and three omnivores. Eight small mammal species, two dwarf antelopes, 11 medium, six large and six mega-sized mammals were observed. Some species might not have been recorded because of drought, seasonal movement or because they travelled outside the view of cameras. Mammal presence is determined by food availability and accessibility, space, competition, distance to water, habitat preferences, predators, body size, social behaviour, bound to territories, etc. The variety in body size and feeding guilds possibly indicates a functioning catenal ecosystem. This knowledge can be beneficial in monitoring and conservation of species in the park. Keywords: catena ecosystem; ephemeral mud wallows; habitat use; mammal variety; Skukuza area; Citation: Janecke, B.B.

  • Common Duiker
    Sylvicapra grimmia – Common Duiker Northern Cape provinces; Skinner & Chimimba 2005), and is substantially greyer in colour compared to the other subspecies, hence the alternate name, Grey Duiker in the Cape (Wilson 2013). Sylvicapra g. caffa is found further north of S. g. grimmia within the KwaZulu-Natal, North West, Gauteng, Mpumalanga and Limpopo provinces (Skinner & Chimimba 2005), extending into southern Mozambique and eastern Zimbabwe (Wilson 2013). The sandy-coloured S. g. steinhardti ranges throughout Namibia into Angola, Botswana and marginally into the Northern Cape Province to Port Nolloth (Wilson 2013). While distribution is continuous, there are many cases of intergradation but geographical boundaries between Arno Meintjies forms have not been delineated accurately (IUCN SSC Antelope Specialist Group 2016). Hence only the species is assessed here. Regional Red List status (2016) Least Concern National Red List status (2004) Least Concern Assessment Rationale Reasons for change No change Listed as Least Concern as the species is widespread and Global Red List status (2016) Least Concern abundant within the assessment region, with a global total population size in the millions. Although bushmeat TOPS listing (NEMBA) None hunting may cause localised declines, the Common CITES listing None Duiker is resilient and should continue to exist in large numbers over its range. This species is also able to exist Endemic No in agricultural landscapes, providing that the natural peripheral vegetation cover remains intact. It is a key prey The Common Duiker is highly adaptable, elusive species and subpopulations should be sustained by and resilient; they vary from other duiker species improving habitat condition and installing permeable in their presence in savannah habitats rather than fences on land outside protected areas as part of holistic forests, and their more slender body shape management strategies to reduce potential livestock/ (Bowland 1997).

  • Black Duiker
    ANTELOPE AND Black duiker ... this little black dress is always in style! GIRAFFE TAG Why exhibit black duikers? • Bolster the only ex situ population of this West African duiker, one of the few mammals endemic to the Guinean forest block seen in zoos. • Add ground-level interest to larger rainforest- themed aviaries and boost the “cute quotient” of bongo and okapi exhibits with this active and attractive dwarf antelope! • Use this heavily-hunted species group to discuss the devastating bushmeat trade and stress that this isn’t a third-world problem: demand in America drives the illegal importation of ~15,000 pounds of bushmeat every month. • Involve guests in discovering the ecological role of duikers using gumballs! Black duikers can crack large, hard-shelled fruits with their powerful jaws, ingesting seeds and dispersing them in dung.
