A species of African antelope(Tragelaphus strepsiceros)having a brownish coat with narrow, white vertical stripes. This is one of the largest and most beautiful of the antelopes. The greater Kudu lives in the forest, rocky hill country and brush of Chad to Somalia and South Africa. They feed on fruit, leaves and grass. They have the ability to leap over nine feet high when need be. The males’ magnificent spiral horns sometimes reach over three feet in length. Aside from a defensive use, Kudus use their horns in "wrestling" matches, with each other, trying to push the opponent into submission.
The skull and horn set offered above has been immersed in boiling water for an appropriate time as to ensure that any matter other than bone, horn or teeth is removed. The skull and horn has been thoroughly disinfected in particular with hydrogen peroxide where parts consisting of bone are concerned.

Neither will detract from the overall presentation of the piece. We have done everything possible to ensure physical correctness.
This set consists of a skull and two horns. The horns are removable. Numbered metal inspection tags have been left in place to further verify authenticity and certification.
