| | Definition: | | \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}.]
