The zebra duiker is a diurnal species, but is shy and rarely seen in the wild. The normal social unit appears to be a breeding pair; the pair bond is reinforced with mutual rubbing, licking and scent-marking. This species is thought to be territorial, and (based on heavy scars in many individuals) appears to fight quite vigorously. Although generally quiet, both sexes may make throaty grunting sounds during courtship. |
