5 Fun Facts About the Zebra Duiker 1. They’re in the cow family. While duikers look like tiny little deer, they’re actually in the family Bovidae, and as such, are more closely related to cows and buffalo. 2. They get along with lemurs. This might be an unusual camaraderie, considering the only place you can find lemurs in the wild is Madagascar, an Island off the opposite coast of Africa. 3. They need outside help. These animals have a lot of potential to recover their populations. 4. They change their sleeping habits in captivity. Zebra duikers are nocturnal in their natural habitat. 5. Their stripes may protect them from pests. Much like their namesake, zebra duikers have rows of very striking black vertical bands along their bodies.
