The red forest duiker, Natal duiker, or Natal red duiker is a small antelope found in central to southern Africa. It is one of 22 extant species form the subfamily Cephalophinae. While the red forest duiker is very similar to the common duiker, it is smaller in size and has a distinguishing reddish coloring. Additionally, the red forest duiker favors a denser bush habitat than the common duiker. The Natal red duiker is more diurnal and less secretive than most forest duikers, so therefore it is easier for them to be observed. In 1999, red forest duikers had an estimated wild population of 42,000 individuals.

Tomichia differens is a species of freshwater gastropod in the family Tomichiidae endemic to perennial streams and rivers in Western Cape Province, South Africa. Described by Connolly in 1939, T. differens is found in two sites at De Kelders and Stilbaai, and has amphibious habits and a tolerance of slight salinity and desiccation throughout its habitats. The genus Tomichia is very sensitive to changes in ecosystem conditions, and thus are threatened by pollution and climate change. The Stilbaai site is in danger of becoming uninhabitable due to residential developments and offshore drilling operations, and thus this species has been listed as Endangered by the IUCN.
