| The parallel antelope masking forms of the Ijebu Agbo society are associated with a water spirit of Ijo derivation based on the African water chevrotain. |
| In the Duala headdresses, the animal is an antelope, perhaps the African water chevrotain that was once common in the Delta and the Wouri estuary. |
| It probably looked and moved something like the diminutive chevrotain, or mouse deer, of Asian forests. |
