Thylacine in a camera trap!?

My apologies if this news came out before because the camera trap photo was taken in February...

The photo was shot in West Africa, you can see it here: www.edgeofexistence.org/edgeblog/?cat=15

Sadly not a thylacine .
It's a zebra duiker. Duikers are small bovids (not deers). They look primitive, like something out of the Eocene, but in reality they are highly derived and in some ways - large brains, omnivorous habits - oddly convergent on primates.

Okay - didn't know they weren't deer. Thanks.
