kudu
Corkscrew-horned African bovid
A kudu is a large African antelope with a grayish-brown coat marked by vertical white stripes.
Males carry long, spiraling horns that can reach impressive lengths.
There are two species: the greater kudu and the lesser kudu, both found in woodland and bush habitats.
We spotted a kudu at the watering hole.
