The greater kudu's horns are spectacular and can grow as long as 72 inches, making 2 1/2 graceful twists. These beautifully shaped horns have long been prized in Africa for use as musical instruments, honey containers and symbolic ritual objects.

Is She or Isn't She?
Inonge

name

AWF Ecologist Jones Masonde recently reported that park experts suspected Inonge—a female white rhino translocated to Mosi Oa Tunya Park in Zambia—was pregnant. Inonge had apparently been spending time with Fwanya, the only male rhino in the park, and then appeared to be isolating herself – telltale signs a rhino may be in the family way. So, is she or isn’t she?

NO, Inonge unfortunately is not pregnant—just nursing an apparent crush on Fwanya. The local veterinarian thinks Fwanya may have suffered reproductive damage after being shot by poachers back in 2007. And as if that weren’t enough, it looks like Fwanya may soon have competition. To strengthen Zambia’s white rhino population, park authorities are thinking about translocating another bull into the park.
