  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}.]
