Injured duiker
-
This duiker looks like it's got a limp, has it turned up in any other videos?
Also, it would be great if someone could find the video from the camera in front of it, so we can have a closer look.

The video before it is ACP000bvz6, but I can't tell if it's limping, or just having trouble on the steep slope

Thanks @cravingkiwi!
Its hard to tell in that video too though if its just some tough terrain needing a hop or if there is really something wrong. But great to point it out and discuss it 😃Posted

Yes, the duiker is missing the left hindlimb and was already seen several times before. We already wondered here in ACP000fdhl whether we could name? @MimiA, what do you think? (Please see the comments in this video.)

For some reason I can't play back ACP000fe38 anymore but if you are sure its the same injury then yes go ahead and give a name - I guess naming goes to @Batfan 😃

@Batfan proposed the name in the comments to video ACP000fdhl. I post it here just in case to not lose it 😃:
"Trying to avoid the more obvious names for an animal with 3 legs, such as Hopalong, what do you think about Tatu - (Swahili for 3)?"

Just to be clear --- the duiker in this video has 4 legs. Back one is somehow injured causing the limp..

Hi @zoogirl1,
yes, we are not talking about the linked video here, but about ACP000fe38 and ACP000fdhl (and others) that show - at Aged Violet - a duiker with part of its left hindlimb missing.
@MimiA, here is the tag group collection: https://talk.chimpandsee.org/#/collections/CCPL00016j for the Master list of animal names.
