Greater kudus do not fight each other for dominance. They raise their necks and manes to make themselves appear as large as possible. The largest and oldest male is usually the dominant one. Males of the same size usually spar, though the activity can lead to their horns locking and the kudus eventually dying. The mating season is usually during the rainy months, which is the only time females and males associate.

One male can move around different female groups, mating with all of them. This, however, is not as strict as with other animal species,due to the fact that the kudu does not maintain territories. Other males can also mate with females even when there is a prime bull. The gestation period is about 8-9 months. Newborn calves are hidden in dense vegetation for a few weeks after birth, then introduced to the main herd later.
