Description

Physical Characteristics The greater Kudu is considered to be the most handsome of the tragelaphine antelopes, which includes the bongo, eland, nyuala, bushbuck and sitatunga. Kudu have stripes and spots on the body and have a chevron of white hair on the forehead between the eyes. The Kudu ears are a distinct feature in both sexes, as they are particularly large and broad for the size of their head and fringed with white hair. Adult males have a short beard of dark hair and a fringe of long hair down the mid-throat.Males have long spiral horns which can grown as long as 72 inches, making 2.5 - 3 graceful twists. These beautifully shaped horns have long been prized in Africa for use as musical instruments, honey containers and symbolic ritual objects. In many cultures, the horns are thought to be the dwelling places of powerful spirits and in others are a symbol for male potency. The horns are seldom used in defense against predators. They also do not impede travel in wooded areas — the kudu simply tilts the chin up and lays the horns against the back, moving easily through dense bush. Female kudu are noticeably smaller than the males and do not have horns.

Description

Body Length: 120-160 cm / 4-5.3 ft. Shoulder Height: 75-95 cm / 2.5-3.1 ft. Tail Length: 30-45 cm / 12-18 in. Weight: 40-80 kg / 88-176 lb. The short, glossy coat has a reddish saddle over a light tan torso. The undersides are white, as are the rings around the eyes. The muzzle and chin are lighter in colour. There are black markings on the ear tips and three black stripes on the rump: two on the flanks and one down the tail. There are tufts of dark hair above the rear hoofs which give the impala its specific name. The lyre-shaped horns, found only in males, are "S"-shaped and slender. With strong ridges, they grow 45-92 cm / 18-37 inches long. Ontogeny and Reproduction Gestation Period: 6.5-7 months. Young per Birth: 1 Weaning: After 4-6 months. Sexual Maturity: Females at 1 year, males at 1.5 years. Life span: Up to 15 years. Two birthing peaks occur - one in spring and one in autumn. After birth, kids lie concealed away from their mother, subsequently joining a 'kindergarten' group with other animals of the same age. Ecology and Behavior The impala is active throughout the 24-hour day, alternating resting and grazing, and drinking at least once a day. Herds have a home range of about 2-6 square kilometers. About 1/3 of adult males hold territories, which vary in size from 0.2-0.9 square kilometers. These territories are marked with urine and feces, and are defended against the intrusion of rival males. The owner of the territory attempts to control any female herds which wander into i
