Dubbed one of the world’s most secretive mammals, this small African antelope has never been viewed in the wild. Only 41 individuals have been found in the last few decades, embodied only by skulls and carcasses spotted in bush beat markets in Benin, Togo and Nigeria. The animal’s name commemorates Professor Walter Verheyen, the first scientist to obtain a specimen of this species of duiker from Togo in 1968.
