Trotz seiner Masse ist es eine geschickte atcacealment; und diese Eigenschaft, gepaart mit seiner allgemeinen Warheit und akute Gefühl von Geruch und Gehör, hat weitgehend zu seiner sur-vival in Bezirken, wo es viel gejagt.

Records of big game : with their distribution, characteristics, dimensions, weights, and horn & tusk measurements . al Africa to the Cape, and west-ward across the continent to Angola, where the Congo apparentlyforms its northern limits. In spite of its bulk, it is an adept atconcealment; and this trait, coupled with its general wariness andacute sense of smell and hearing, has largely contributed to its sur-vival in districts where it is much hunted. Except in the Uitenhagejungles, where it is preserved by British farmers, the kudu hasbeen exterminated from Cape Colony. In Eastern Mashonalandit is still abundant, as it is in the highlands of Somaliland, in whichcountry it is rarely met with on the plains. The Somali forminhabits less thickly wooded country than the southern race, andit is in accordance with this that it has fewer stripes. Although unrivalled at traversing rocky hills, the kudu is byno means a good performer on the flat (where it seldom allows itselfto be surprised), and can be ridden down without much difficultyby a fairly well-mounted hunter. Horned females occur rarely. KUDU 319. Skull and Horns of Kudu. From the specimen in the American National Collection. ^.—TYPICAL RACE (S. capensis typicus). Leng th. On outsidecurve. Straightline.
