The Greater Kudu is a very tall, narrow-bodied antelope, with a small head and huge cupped ears. Adult male Kudu are blue-gray, darkening with age. Female and young Kudu are tan-colored. Kudu are nearly pure browsers that feed on a variety of foliage, herbs, vines, tubers, succulents, flowers and fallen fruit. Greater Kudus disperse widely during rains and spend the dry season along rivers and bases of hills where evergreen growth persists.
