  Koodoo \Koo"doo\, n. (Zool.)
     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.]
