Kudu

July 29th, 2014

Both the greater Kudu and its close cousin, the lesser Kudu, have stripes and spots on the body, and most have a chevron of white hair between the eyes. Males have long, spiral horns. The greater Kudu’s horns are spectacular and can grow as long as 72 inches, making 3-1/2 graceful twists. The Kudu is often referred to as the “White Ghost” in Africa because of its ability to virtually disappear.
