Dukers are numerous but are nocturnal and shy. In addition to plants, duikers will kill and eat small animals, including birds, and are sometimes fed dog food in captivity. Duikers are territorial, but, unlike most bovids, are solitary. This species lives at higher elevations than any other African hoofed mammal. Its horns and ears differ slightly from those of other duikers.
Males can be very aggressive.
