Kudu Horns and Oryx
Horns - Outpost Original supports the conservation
and protection of Africa’s wildlife.
Antelopes such as the gemsbok (oryx) and kudu continue
to thrive in the protected wildlife reserves of the
African savannah. To maintain the delicate natural balance
between the animals and their habitat, park and government
authorities undertake a controlled annual culling of
the populations. The sale of hides and horns from this
culling generates income which is used to sustain the
conservation program.
Outpost Original imports only certified horns from
reputable tanneries and hunters. The oryx and kudu horns
we supply are from older adult males and females, the
age of the animal is evident in the length and spirals
or notches of the horn. Each turn of the kudu horn indicates
approximately 7 years of life. |
