kudus

Striped African grazers

Kudus are large African antelopes with distinctive spiral horns and vertical white stripes on their grayish-brown coats.

The greater kudu and lesser kudu are the two species, both prized by hunters as trophies.

We spotted a kudu at the watering hole.

Singular: kudu.
