We were birding and looking for big game at the Goas Waterhole the morning of August 17, 2012, when Brad took a frontal view of a Greater Kudu, Tragelaphus strepsiceros. The male shown here is distinguished by spiral horns which can reach lengths of over a meter. Six to ten pale thin stripes that stand out against its grayish body also help to identify this antelope. A crest of hair runs along the middle of the back to form a mane. A distinct white band runs along the brow between the eyes. This is an impressive animal. Temperatures were in the upper 80's on this beautiful morning with clear blue skies.
