Hello,
I get mailordered sets of animal cards, I get 3 sets every month
with various animals in them, animals, fish, birds, insects, things
like that, and every time I open the packages, it does not take me
long to find an animal I do not know of, I look at the picture and the
name and say
"A What?"
So....... I figured it would be neat and sort of fun to scan these
animals and send them to all Y'all! and see how you do!
If this is a stupid idea, oh well, I tried! of course I can only go
by the information on the cards so if I have been misinformed of a
particular animal, let me know K! ;)
Enjoy! if you like I can do the same for insects, fish and birds! :)
Russ

Zebra Duiker (Cephalophus zebra), is a small antelope found in Ivory Coast, and Liberia.
Zebra Duikers have gold or red-brown coats with distinctive zebra-like stripes, dark markings on their upper legs and russet faces. They grow to 90 centimetres in length, 45 centimetres in height and weigh up to 20 kilogrammes. Their prong-like horns are 4.5 centimetres long in males and only 2.25 centimetres long in females.
Zebra Duikers live in Primary Rainforest where they eat leaves and fruit. They are considered Vulnerable by the IUCN. |

The zebra duiker is restricted to west Ivory Coast, Liberia and Sierra Leone. This species inhabits closed canopy primary forests, but is also found along forest margins and clearings, extending into secondary growth.
This species is threatened by poaching for meat and the continued destruction of West Africa's remaining primary rainforests
The total population is estimated at 28,000 individuals |
