Koodoo \Koo"doo\, n. (Zo["o]l.)
A large South African antelope (Strepsiceros kudu). The
males have graceful spiral horns, sometimes four feet long.
The general color is reddish or grayish brown, with eight or
nine white bands on each side, and a pale dorsal stripe. The
old males become dark bluish gray, due to the skin showing
through the hair. The females are hornless. Called also
nellut. [Written also kudu.]
