If I remember correctly, the Jentink's were very hard to see but the Zebra Duikers were a real gem. They were in the roundhouse enclosure that now holds Red-flanked Duikers. The Red-flanked were right across from them where the Black Duikers now reside, as well as their enclosure shared with the Okapis. I believe the Zebra and Red-flanked were LA's first two Duiker species ever displayed here. Right around the same time we received
our first pair of Bongos, which were exhibited in the current Okapi enclosure. This was mid or late '70s.
