The Suni (Neotragus moschatus) is hard to see because it is shy and most active at night. During this time, you may find it feeding on fruits and flowers. These small social antelopes use scent marks to mark their boundaries and are well camouflaged in their environment by their reddish brown, dark coats. However, their throat, chin, and belly are white. Males have horns and are very territorial. These animals may also show red nostrils, hooves, and eyes surrounded by black markings. It can also whistle or bark. You can find the Suni in countries on the Eastern side of Africa — that is, from Kenya to South Africa.
Sunies have a standing shoulder height between 11.8”-16.9” (30-43 cm), overall body length from 21.7”-25.6” (55-65 cm), standing height of roughly 17.7”-20.9” (45-53 cm), and a body width of 5.1”-6.3” (13-16 cm). The weight of a Suni is between 8.8-13.2 lb (4-6 kg). Sunies have a typical lifespan of 9-14 years.
