Anna carried a follow-up to the original post, by which time I was reclining in hospital, in fact I was in ICU, having just had a quadruple bypass. When I came out I promised to publish some pictures of the male of the species. Well, it has taken some time to get here, but here it is.
The pictures below were all taken at the Addo Elephant National Park.

Max-e again thank you so much for the mention me in your post, and wow these are such graceful kudu males. Just the horns itself are amazing, kind of prehistoric.
Thank you so much and hope you are doing okay, I know that it is not 100%, but I think with your enthusiasm and spirit of blogging will get you to 120%. Thank you again for all this, and just glad that you are back. Anna :)
If you have never seen a kudu in the wild, go to Addo. The kudu graze on the open field like sheep some days. I my many journeys through the park I have seen the most magnificent horns you can imagine. I don't recommend hunters going for a look, cause they will be pulling out their hair for not being able to go after some of those boytjies.
firefly, I am curious.... you clearly live around here... but your name does not link to a blog..do you have one? Anyway, howzit my broer!!
I hate to break the news, but that's no elephant.
