This is one of Africa's greatest showpieces, the Kudu is a member of the Antelope family. Their magnificent spiral horns often reach 1.8mm in length. The Males form loose batchelor units and leave to find a suitable female herd after they are 6 years old. I shot this one in Botswana on the banks of the Chobe river as he came down to drink.

    I'm not sure what grammar you're referring to Ronen, unless its the use of the word 'shot'. Photographers use that word to denote a ' camera shot' . Perhaps a poor choice of words, as I've never shot an animal in my life with anything but a camera. Thanks for the input.
