Tragelaphus strepsiceros strepsiceros

Distribution
Originally from the mountains of SE Chad to Ethiopia and throughout the drier areas of E and S Africa, wherever there were thickets and dense woodlands to provide browse and shelter. Greater kudus are increasingly restricted to stony, hilly country by expanding settlement. They can survive without water if browse is sufficiently moist. Kudus are rare in some perirephal parts of their range.
