EASTERN CAPE GREATER KUDU Hunting
Tragelaphus strepsiceros strepsiceros
Distribution: Eastern Cape Province of South Africa.
Description: A large, elegant antelope with long legs, a hump on its shoulders, and magnificent corkscrew-shaped horns. Its color is gray to reddish-brown, with white stripes, and there is a white facial chevron. A brown mane continues as a white dorsal crest, and there is a fringe of long brown and white hairs from chin to brisket. The horns (males only) are long and keeled, growing upward in 2-3 open spirals. Identical to other southern greater kudu, except that the body is somewhat smaller and the horns are considerably shorter, though heavier in relation to their length.
CITES: Not listed.
