And this one fucks:
…when males do have a face-off, they will lock their horns in a competition to determine the stronger puller; kudus' necks enlarge during the mating season for this reason.

Shit that's it's neck muscles?! I thought it was some flabs of skin that just got big like the male fiddler crabs one claw.
Their horns are massive (they are the size of a small horse) and the older ones get scars on their backs from running through dense foliage and their horns being yanked back. These things run at the sliiiiiightest sign of trouble, so it's adaptation that simply being able to run through brush and not break their own necks, and fight other males, are complimentary.
They are beautiful, delicious Chads, and they know it.

Miyazaki: He IS a pagan god.
I'm looking forward to Princess Mononoke being in theaters soon.
The goth in me wants his skull to adorn my door. After he dies naturally, of course.
If you remove his skull he will definitely die naturally.
He looks like the King Kudu
