The name given the antelope is derived from the 18th century name given by the Xhosa iqudu and the Afrikaans Koedoe.
A magnificent animal with the most exquisite horns and a gait unlike any other. A browser normally found in a dense shrub bush with a good camouflage, giving itself away with the movement of large ears.
Beautiful! I love the Black and White shots. They capture something so different from the color.
Wonderful photos, have long been one of my favourite animals and nothing gave me greater pleasure than suddenly seeing one, or a herd on my farm.
