Male greater kudu are known for their spectacular spiral horns, which can grow over four feet long and twist in as many as two and a half turns. Despite their size, kudu are surprisingly elusive, relying on camouflage and an uncanny ability to slip quietly through dense bush when threatened. We were lucky to spot a small herd of them on our trip to Samburu in Kenya last June. Nikon Z8 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 125, f/6.3 at 1/800th of a second.

What a beauty! Even if standing still, that kudo looks like itis moving!
These are spectacular animals! We were lucky to have seen several on our safari in South Africa.
