    How do I differentiate between small antelope and small grey duiker at night ? i am just guessing at moment and imagine that there could be an obvious answer.

    This video is pretty terrible for ID, I'm not even 100% sure what it is! That said, the only small ungulates we've spotted are water chevrotains, they're even smaller and have a rather different build and gait, this is probably a duiker.

    Collection of water chevrotains: http://talk.chimpandsee.org/#/collections/CCPL000024

    You can take a look at what all the duikers look like from here. The collections are based on what people tag on talk, so they're mostly accurate. 😃 http://talk.chimpandsee.org/#/boards/BCP0000007/discussions/DCP00000as

    It looks like three small grey duikers to me. If you have a lower-quality LCD monitor, as I have, you can actually increase the apparent contrast in the video by viewing it at a wide angle relative to the monitor. It makes it harder to discern separate shades, but makes it easier to spot distinct shapes.
