This photograph of a female Kudu antelope in Botswana is this weeks raw image, I like the way she blends in to the bush and her fantastic ears ! a beautiful face and shape : )
Their cryptic coloring and markings protect kudus by camouflaging them. If alarmed they usually stand still and are very difficult to spot.
Habitat - Lesser kudus are found in acacia and commiphora thornbush in arid savannas; they rely on thickets for security and are rarely found in open or scattered bush. Greater kudus are found in woodlands and bushlands.
Predators - leopards, hunting dogs, spotted hyenas, humans
