Our team spotted the male and female Lesser Kudus while on a game drive at Selenkay Conservancy. The Lesser Kudu is a shy antelope primarily nocturnal and retreats into the shelter at dawn. Horns are present only in males. The antelope will stand motionless if it sees something that is threatening. The alarm call is a sharp bark often confused with a bushbuck. They are found in dry thorn brush in mixed or single-sex groups, usually 2 to 5 individuals. They exhibit no territorial behaviour. Plann

Oh that’s the spot! Hobbes the lesser kudu enjoys some scratches from his keeper. These are typically very high strung animals, this video demonstrates the strong bond he has formed with his care team. | Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden

Meet the newest lesser kudu calf at the Zoo! Jager was born on March 23 to parents Martini and Lemon Drop (yep, there’s a theme). This little guy weighed just over 13 pounds at birth, but has been growing quickly and is now 25 pounds! His keepers say that he is sassy and sleepy, often hiding for a nap behind the hay bowl. 😴 He is currently behind the scenes bonding with mom, Lemon, and “auntie”, Tangerine before he makes his public debut! 💫 | Fort Worth Zoo
