Ema duiker esilisa amakhulu lasihlanu ngema mm emahlombe bese lawo esifazane amashumi lamabili ema mm ngebudze. Silisa sine mass lesemkhatsini welishumi nesihlanu kuya eshumini nesiphohlongo sema kg, leyesifazane sine mass lesemkhatsini welishumi nesitfupha kuya kumashumi lamabili nakunye ema kg. Libala lelisetindzaweni letingetulu lihlukile kuleli mphunga nalelo lelimtfubi lotopele (s.g.craffra) kuya kulelibovana – nalokumtfubi (s.g. splendidula). Bumcoka belushintjo belibala emkhatsini wema duiker ibukiwe kuletinye tindzaba.Tindzawo tangephansi tihlala timhlophe. Lamanengi anelibala lelimnyama lelisetindzaweni letingephansi kwebuso dvute nemphumulo.
Kudla Kwato
Tibuka emacembe lamakhulu,tihlahla nemahlatsi, tiphindze tidle titselo, inhlanyelo, timphandze, emagcolo, timbale, sihlahla lesite emacembe, emavivane kanye netinyoni letincane. Etindzaweni letomile emahwabhu esiganga ayadliwa ngalokutsi anemanti. Ema duiker angaba yinkinga kulokulinyiwe, tingadze letinetitselo, lakulinywa khona emagrapes kanye nalapho kulinywa khona litiya, nobe ligwayi.Kutiphatsa Kwawo
Aphitsitela kakhulu ngemuva kwesidlo sasemini kanye nasebusuku netikhatsi tentsatsakusa. Esilisa ne Sifazane atsandza kucosha lamanye ema duiker lafana nawo latsandza kuhlala endzaweni yinye, atsandza kuhlangana ngesikhatsi sekuhlanganiswa kuphela. Liciniso litsi ngito tilwane letivama kuphumelela la Afrika. Imphilo yato itsatsa iminyaka lesiphohlongo kuya kulelishumi nakunye. Tilwane letimcoka ngekuba ngema carnivores lasemkhatsini nalamakhulu. Avama kuhlala advwa noma iduiker yesifazane lenemntfwanayo, akavami kuhlala kube ngulendvuna nalensikati.Indzawo Letihlala Kuyo
Atibonwa emahlatsini, noma tihamba tiyobhaca emahlatsini natibalekela tilwane letitingelako. Tigcwele southern Afrika, kepha atikho etindzaweni letise mahlanzeni. Le Common duiker ivama kubonakala emahlahleni lavulekile ngetikhatsi tentsatsakusa nekushona kwelilanga. Atfolwa etindzaweni letinetjani lapho kute khona umtfunti. Titfolwa eAfrika ngase ningizimu ye Sahara, ngaphandle kwemahlatsi lanetimvula letisenkhabeni ye Afrika.Spoor Description
Inespoor lesikhulu kunaleso saleminye emaduiker. Lamanye ema spoor akhombile lamanye atindingilizi. Lapho kunayinye noma mubili umehluko.Predators
Ema duiker akanaki batingeli ngekutsi avele alale phansi ngekuthula noma omele phansi bese ayabaleka ayabaleka muva uma umtingeli asondzela dvutane. Itsi igijima ibe izubazuba, iyangasemaceleni ngulapho lakusuka khona leligama le duiker, bese nge Afrikaans yi diver. Isebentisa timphondvo kanye nema hooves lacijile angasemuva ekutivikeleni.Lucingo lwe alarm lingumsindvo,uma ibanjiwe ikhala kakhulu, yenta umsindvo lotsintsa lamanye emaduikers, loko kubese kwenta emaduikers labomake kutsi basite bantfwana babo. Bantfwana bema duiker bangagijima nabasandza kutalwa ngekuhamba kwelilanga, kepha bahlala bafihliwe endzaweni levalekile, bomake bawo bahlala babuya batowamunyisa baphindze babahlobise noma babageze. Batsatfwa batingeli labasemkhatsini kuya kulabakhulile kepha batingeli babo kakhulu tinyoni lekutsiwa Tingculungculu, Ingwe, Jakalazi kanye ne Nhlatfu. Lamanye atsatfwa tingwenya.
