KUDU: amazing species of animal kingdom
Like many other antelope, male kudu can be found in bachelor groups, but they are more likely to be solitary. Their dominance displays tend not to last long and are generally, fairly peaceful, consisting of one male making himself look big by making his hair stand on end. When males do have a face-off, they lock their horns in a competition to determine the stronger puller. Kudu’s neck enlarges during the mating season for this reason. Sometimes two competing males are unable to unlock their horns and, if unable to disengage, will die of starvation or dehydration. Males are seen with females only in the mating season, when they join in groups of 5-15 kudus, including offspring. Calves grow very quickly and at six months, are fairly independent of their mothers.
