Rhodesia Philately: 1974 Third Definitive Issue – 1c Kudu

The Kudu (Tragelaphus strepsiceros) is the antelope whose name is linked with nearly every explorer and hunter in Africa from the earliest days. It is the most written about and most sought after, and the Kudu head, with its sweeping spiral horns, has always been a most coveted trophy of big game hunters. The tenacity of the Kudu in holding out as a species in the face of civilisation speaks well for its great sagacity.
