Here we have a mejestic Kudu Antelope, created and shared by SterlingArc.
His name is Orin Oba, which translates from the language of Yoruba to, "Singing King".

He lives a very nomadic lifestyle, traveling the great lands to parts unknown. He's very wise and gentle and is also a great singer!
Why does he sing, you ask? He sings to celebrate each sunrise marking the new day, along with the early birds that most of the time hang around perched on his horns.
As a matter of fact, he's almost never without his feathery compainions on his horns. He also tends to spread cheer those around him. For he is well known throughout the Savanna. Lot's of individuals from many walks of life recongnise him from a far, due to his very prominent spiral horns and for the fact that many hear him before he's even visible. His singing carries for miles!

Predators that don't know him, are cautious when they see the large horns. But predators that do are known to respect him enough not to attack him. It's not worth taking down the second largest kind of Antelope in the great lands.

This guy was fun to draw! His sprial horns are fun as well as his beard!
(I didn't draw him with his birds in this picture just because it would have taken too long. But I'll definitly draw them perched on his horns then next time I do. For he's pretty majestic!
Created by Sterling, she gave me permission to have her character be shared with me, so he can be part of the ever expanding Savanna Herd. Though he is nomadic, so he might come and go when ever he wants, but I'm sure he'll stop by for a visit every so often to say hello to everyone else on the Savanna.

I sort of picture him singing this song right here. It's a really catchy song actually!———→ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5-YknyVZ3A

If you would like to know more about Greater Kudus, I put some facts down here…..

Scientific name — Tragelephus strepsiceros

The male Greater Kudu is one of the tallest and longest-horned (average 5 1/2 Ft | 1.7m) Antelopes, and has a long throat fringe.
Coloration in both sexes is grey-tinged red or brown, with 6-10 body stripes, and white nose and cheek marks.
This Kudu eats leaves, flowers, fruits, herbs, and tubers.
Females form groups of up to 6, as do males, except when they compete during breeding season.
