Description The Greater Kudu, Tragelaphus strepsiceros, is one of the most magnificent antelopes in Africa! Only the bull has horns, which can reach 185 cm/6' measured along the spiral. He can reach 315 kg/690 lbs in weight; cows are smaller, reaching around 210 kg/460 lbs. They can be surprisingly well-camouflaged in the bush. Watercolour.

I looked up "greater kudu" on google to draw and this popped up and I knew it was yours! Your style is so unique and recognizable!

Hi! Did it pop up near the top?  When I google Greater Kudu it doesn't show on the first page ... ugh, there's a lot of photos of hunters posing with animals they killed.  But anyways, thanks!

Now that I re-google it, it was "greater kudu bull"--the title of the piece! My bad.
Sad to see the hunters, I'd much rather see your work! Gorgeous animals. Thanks for sharing your work!

This was one of my top favorite species from your country! It's just elegance all around, from the horns, posture...to the gentle shoulder stripes. Thank you for sharing this piece!
