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 greater kudu is one of two species commonly known as kudu, the other being the lesser kudu, T. imberbis.
