Weyns's duiker (Cephalophus weynsi) is a tiny antelope found in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, Central African Republic and western Kenya. It is sometimes spelled "Weyn's", "Weyns", or "Weyns'" duiker. Weyns's duikers average about 33 lb (15 kg) in weight when full grown, with a shoulder height of about 17 in (43 cm). They have plain rufous coats.
This duiker makes it home in lowlands and montane rainforests. IUCN SSC Antelope Specialist Group (2016). "Cephalophus weynsi". IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. 2016 e.T4152A50184533. doi:10.2305/IUCN.UK.2016-1.RLTS.T4152A50184533.en. Retrieved 12 November 2021.

More parks will be added in future updates.
No species of the same family or order lives in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, so these are its closest relatives here: other mammals.
With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Weyns's Duiker sighting in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 12th most-seen of the 12 mammals we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Weyns's Duiker in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park on a given day, against under 5% in March–June, August and October–January, the lowest months. That is one of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park's driest months, with about 100 mm of rain against 320 mm in October.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Weyns's Duiker sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, in our data
Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Weyns's Duiker sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Weyns's Duiker is recorded against all the mammals logged in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (5 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
