Thanks!

According to my brother-in-law, (a hunter), a kudu uses the circle to aim if they want to reach seedpods with there horns in the dry season. Whether it’s a hunting tail I do not know, but with this photo, I can almost believe him!

Not sure about "aiming", as I've never heard that one, but I do know that they can always see the tips of their horns through the curl. And they use it to break down, or bring closer, branches to feed on.

Thing is about the kudu... even MM can produce a moment of visual beauty.
