Abstract
Lestrade’s duiker (Cephalophus weynsi lestradei; Groves & Grub 1974), a subspecies of Weyns’s duiker, is a medium-sized duiker thought to be found only in the forests of the Congo-Nile divide. There is variation in pelage between individuals with a generally dark gray brown color, and varying amounts of rufous coloration. In addition, some individuals have an apparent black dorsal stripe, but this is not present in all individuals (see Figure 2). Both males and females have horns, which are cone shaped and annulated in the lower half (Hart, 2013, Castelló, 2016). We captured photos of Lestrade’s duiker from two locations, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, Uganda in 2012 and 2014 and Nyungwe National Park, Rwanda in 2013 and 2017 (Figures 1 & 2).
