Duiker shows a distinct preference for closed-canopy forest, and is found most frequently in moist lowland areas. Its reliance on dense cover makes the species more susceptible than other duikers to human disturbances such as agriculture. Density estimates are 1-5-8-7 ind/km?.

) as well as in the short dry season (January-February). During courtship, a male pursues a female with his head outstretched, licking the anogenital region of the female. Males test female receptiveness by performing the flehmen response on fresh urine (each flehming lasts an average of 9-3 seconds). Unreceptive females puff at approaching males; they may avoid further advances by retiring to a sheltered spot. Receptive females remain quiet during courtship and will stop and stand for mounting. Estrus lasts for less than 24 hours, and copulation duration is typically 1-2 seconds. Each copulation attemptis followed immediately by a new pursuit. Ritualized foreleg kicking (“laufschlag”) has not been observed. Gestation is approximately 240 days; litter size is usually one. Infants are blackish-brown, with red on the back, sides, and face. White facial spots are less apparent in juveniles than in adults. First reproduction occurs around 2-5 years, and a female generally produces 0-7 young/year. Maximum recorded life span in captivity is 17 years.

Duikers will often remain hidden in resting sites even when directly approached. Activity and foraging begin slightly before sunset, between 18:00 h and 18:30 h, and cease before dawn, usually between 05:30 h and 06:00 h. Most movements occur at the start and end of the night, corresponding with searching for food (19:00-21:00 h), and then a sheltered location in which to rest for the day is selected in the early morning. Females may travel 1-1-9 km every night; males average significantly more, at 4-3 km per night. Nightly foraging is interrupted 1-3 times by short rests averaging 44 minutes; these occur more frequently at the start of the night than at the end.

, females generally used 0-2-0-4 km? and the single male used an area twice that size. Overlap between home ranges may result in up to six or seven duikers (including infants and juveniles) being present in a single male’s range. Home ranges vary in size depending on season, being generally larger during the dry seasons. The sense of smell is most important for social communication. Males mark vertical objects (especially tree trunks) with secretions from their preorbital glands at a frequency of 19-20 markings/hour, forming a whitish plaque of crystallized secretion on often-used branches. Eastern Bay Duikers tend to move slowly with the head stretched out at shoulder height, dropping the head so that the nose is at ground level on a regular basis. Individuals will frequently stop to smell areas marked by other duikers with preorbital gland secretions, urine, or feces. Vocalizations are rare; a weak “hon,” produced with a closed mouth, is used when two individuals are in close proximity (either in sight or when scent marks are sufficiently fresh). Being nocturnal, the sense of sight is not especially important; visual signs (such as horn scrapes on tree trunks or bushes) are not left. Likewise, detection of danger is principally by smell and hearing. Upon detection, an Eastern Bay Duiker will freeze in position; the head (with ears pricked) is then moved either side-to-side or up-anddown to better detect the threat. A threatened duiker will attempt to move off silently if possible. When startled, this species will flee directly into dense cover with the head stretched forward, and will then observe the threat while standing stock-still. Thereis no alarm vocalization or warning in the form of stamping of the forefeet.
