Wow, those are some wicked defensive weapons, clearly shows how abnormal the horns are in the first animal. Got me reading about this species, "largest species in the antelope family". Thanks for the post.

Hi Ken,

Thanks - seeing this "normal" Kudu makes it very clear how atypical the head ornamentation of the individual in the previous post was - nice to have a "frame of reference", so to speak...

Cheers...

Brad

Hey Ken,
Really does show the difference in the 2! Love the details in the horns.
