The greater kudu (Tragelaphus strepsiceros) is a large woodland antelope, found throughout eastern and southern Africa.Despite occupying such widespread territory, they are sparsely populated in most areas due to declining habitat, deforestation, and poaching. [2]
The sport is mostly popular among the Afrikaner community in South Africa, and a world championship is held each year. [6] Kudu-hunting is prominently featured in Ernest Hemingway's nonfiction book Green Hills of Africa, an account of a month-long safari he and his then-wife, Pauline Pfeiffer, went on in East Africa in December 1933.

It was the last large antelope to be discovered in Africa. [3] [4] The spiral horns and white markings on the face and across the flanks established it as a species of Tragelaphus. [5] Lydekker believed that the species was related more closely to the nyala (T. angasii) than to the two kudu species (then placed under the genus Strepsiceros).
