RE: AnimalPhotography - Greater Kudu
Nice pictures. I saw them when we were in Sabi Sands and we even had one walking around our building when we came back from lunch one afternoon. Fantastic animals and beautiful.
Thanks. They can become quite tamed in areas where they are not hunted. In their natural territory it is sometimes tough to get close to them... during the day the love hanging out in gorges with dense vegetation.
Yeah, we were very surprised to see them so close. The only one we'd seen thus far had been far away hidden in the bush
Wow, nice Kudu in the first picture... that is spot on with their natural liking in territory! Always hidden and on the lookout.
The second picture is actually not a Kudu, but an antelope related to the Kudu... they are called Nyalas! They are a lot scarcer... I've seen some of them in the Kruger National Park.
You can see the distinction in the straighter horns, distinctive legs and larger body. Some more info here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyala
Yeah, you're right. I forgot about them. This was in Londolozi when we were there on our honeymoon.
