Animals can be much smarter than what we give them credit for. A kudu was in some serious trouble in the middle of Namibia’s Etosha National Park… when he did something so clever to save his own skin. The kudu, which is a large antelope species, was being chased by 14 hyenas that were hunting nearby. Those hungry hyenas could have done some serious damage, but this antelope found a way to safety.
The herd of zebra later left the watering hole, and the kudu slipped away with them. Female kudus tend to live in small herds, but the males are solitary (making them easy targets for predators). Luckily, their cunning can keep them alive. It’s hard to believe an animal was able to come up with such a clever plan!
