The kudus are two species of antelope of the genus Tragelaphus: Lesser kudu, Tragelaphus imberbis, of eastern Africa and Greater kudu, Tragelaphus strepsiceros, of eastern and southern Africa. The two species look similar, though greaters are larger than lessers. A large adult male greater kudu stands over 1.5 m) tall at the shoulder, and a large male lesser kudu stands about 1.2 m tall. Males of both species have long horns, which point upward and slightly back, curling in a corkscrew shape.
