The Greater Kudu (Tragelaphus strepsiceros), is a large, elegant African antelope. Native to the southern and eastern Savanna areas of Africa, a Greater Kudu is one of the top game trophies of Africa, and of the world.
The Greater Kudu weighs from 440 to 660 pounds, and stands 54-60 inches at the shoulder. The Kudu antelope has long legs, a hump on its shoulders, and magnificent corkscrew-shaped horns. The Greater Kudu's color is gray to reddish-brown, with white stripes, and there is a white facial chevron. The Kudu has a brown mane which continues as a white dorsal crest, and there is a fringe of long brown and white hair from the chin to the brisket. The Kudu's horns are long and keeled, growing upward in 2-3 open spirals. The Female Kudu are similar but hornless.
In Texas, the Greater Kudu breed all year, but in Africa, rut for 2 months between January and April. The gestation period for the Greater Kudu antelope is 7 to 8 months and they give birth to 1 young. Both the male and female Kudu reach sexual maturity at 17 months.
The Greater Kudu are excellent jumpers and can leap over an 8 1/2 foot fence. They can hybridize with other spiral-horned antelope species such as the Eland. A Sable bull may kill a Kudu bull if put into the same area together.
