Meet The Greater Kudu, The African Antelope With Symmetrical Spiral Horns (8 Pics)

Native to south and east Africa, these antelopes are herbivores and can be found in the woodlands foraging for shoots and leaves. Thankfully, they are protected by most countries on the continent so these stunning animals can still be found in large numbers in their territories. Especially in reserves such as the famous Kruger National Park.

The greater kudu is a large antelope native to eastern and southern Africa. Adult males are known for their incredible symmetrical spiral horns. Once this period is over, the calf will begin to join its mother in the wild. After around three months, it will constantly be by its mother's side, and then after around six months, it will become independent. Although these beautiful creatures aren't under threat, their habitat is still being eroded and they are targeted by poachers.
