Conquered Victor - Kruger National Park, South Africa - Figurative Public Sculpture on Waymarking.com

We saw this intriguing sculpture at the Skukuza Rest Camp in the Kruger National Park during a full day safari. The life-size statue depicts two male kudus fighting with horns interlocked.

Our guide told us that male kudus fight by interlocking their horns with eachother until one of them admits defeat and gives in. In rare circumstances this can result in both males being unable to free themselves from the other's horns, usually resulting in the death of both animals.

Hendrik Christoffel (Hennie) Potgieter (1916-1992) is a South African sculptor. In 1987 he received a Medal from “Die Suid-Afrikaanse Akademie vir Wetenskap en Kuns“ (South-African Academy for Science and Arts). Read more
