Kudu are active throughout the day and their larges ears are extremely sensitive to sound making them difficult to approach. Kudu are accomplished jumpers and can easily clear 8 feet. They are not territorial and group together in small maternal groups. The males have spiraled horns, which can be up to 56 inches long and have up to 3 full turns, well developed for wrestling and sometimes 2 males can become fatally entangled.
