Kudu bull - Horns and Age
A Greater Kudu bull with his horns just starting to go into its first spiral. One can determine age by the shape of the horns. Thus, this bull is 15 months old. Note how this rather bland coloration blends in perfectly with the surroundings.
The Greater Kudu is a woodland antelope found throughout eastern and southern Africa. Despite occupying such widespread territory, they are sparsely populated in most areas, due to a declining habitat, deforestation and hunting.
