A small South African antelope with a stocky build and short legs, known for its quick diving movements when escaping predators.
From Dutch 'duiker' (diver) and 'buck' (male antelope), reflecting the animal's characteristic diving behavior when startled. The name describes its method of escape through dense vegetation.
These tiny antelopes are masters of misdirection—when threatened, they execute sharp, unpredictable leaps and direction changes that make predators overshoot, kind of like nature's own dodgeball player.
