| Kudu |
Habitat
Kudu are found in practically any habitat, with the exception of open grasslands.
Kudu associate in small family groups of up to 20 individuals. Adult bulls form
bachelor groups and do not associate with breeding herds for the greater part of the
year. Although they are not territorial animals, fights between adult bulls are
common, and very often, the horns of the 2 contenders become interlocked. Unable
to disengage, they fall easy prey for predators. Juvenile Kudu are preyed upon by
Leopard, Cheetah, Hyena, and Wild Dogs; adults, due to their size, only have to fear
Man and Lion. Only males have horns, and they can weigh up to 270 Kg and live
for about 15 years.
Kudu are mainly browsers. They will eat freshly flushed green grass.
One single calf is born in February after a gestation period of 260 to 280 days. The
calf will hide for the first 3 weeks amongst tall grasses and shrubs, attended by it's
mother for short periods of time.
