Natural History: The lesser kudu is primarily active at night and in the early morning, seeking shelter shortly after sunrise. The alarm call is a sharp bark. The lesser kudu is shy and wary, and when startled flees with the tail held up, revealing the white underside. Leaps of up to 2 meters / 6.6 feet have been recorded, though these are not common. Individual home ranges average 2.2 square kilometers for males and 1.8 square kilometers for females. These areas overlap extensively with no apparent territoriality, and different parts are used at different times of the year. Population density rarely exceeds 1 animal per square kilometer.
