Kudu Photo Album Page 6
HABITAT
Kudu are found in practically any habitat, with the exception of open grass plains.
HABITS
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 desingage, 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. Only bulls have horns.
DIET
Kudu are mainly browsers. They will eat freshly flushed green grass.
BREEDING
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.
