Description:

Description: The lesser kudu (Tragelaphus imberbis) is a forest antelope found in East Africa, native to Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda. They inhabit dry, flat, and densely thicketed areas, as well as woodlands and hilly land. It is rarely observed in open or cleared areas. The lesser kudu's shyness and its ability to camouflage itself in dense cover has protected it from the risks of poaching. 50% of the calves die within the first six months, from disease and predation, and only 25% survive to reach 3 years of age. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lesser_kudu.
