🐃Greater kudu
Le Grand koudou (Tragelaphus strepsiceros), ou coudou, est une espèce de mammifères africains de la famille des bovidés. Cette grande antilope vit essentiellement dans les régions montagneuses du Tchad jusqu'au Soudan et, à basse altitude, de l'Afrique de l'Est à l'Afrique du Sud, bien qu’on puisse en trouver en Afrique de l'Ouest notamment au Mali. Son nom vernaculaire vient de iqudu en langue Xhosa, par l'Afrikaans koedoe, signifiant « antilope ».
