Woops! These are addax antelopes! Don't feel bad; addaxes and kudus look very similar. Here's some ways to indentify an addax.
1. Addaxes are pale in color; kudus are grey-brown.
2. They have a white X around their forehead, and they wear a dark crown at the base of their horns.
3. They have straight, wavy, ridged horns. A kudu's pair
of horns curve and are only slightly grooved.
