The Kudu is a forest antelope native to eastern and southern Africa. This baby girl was born September 23rd at Switzerland's Zoo Basel, which seems to have no end of rare babies and outstanding pictures. Little "Giza", pictured below, is actually a Lesser Kudu, the smaller of the two Kudu species. On a side note, species are commonly named "lesser" to indicate a smaller sized species within the same genus. It is not intended as an insult.

Glad to see so many wild animals on your blog from South Africa. This animal is the most beautiful, just a pity that hunters like to hunt them – for trophies, but must admit, the most delicious biltong (Afrikaans version of jerky) is from this animal!!
