Nyala (Tragelaphus angasi)  The Nyala bull is large, but slenderly built with a very narrow body. It has a white chevron between the eyes with 2-3 white spots on its cheek. The sides of its body has white stripes and there are 2-3 white spots on its thigh. The Nyala bull has a long mane of shaggy black hair under the neck continuing along its underside. Average weight of adult males is 287 pounds. Horn length averages  24 inches with 32.9 inches as the world record. There is also a much larger Mountain Nyala found in the mountain regions of Ethiopia. Nyala are almost exclusively browsers except when grass is young and green. They feed on fruits, pods, twigs and leaves. Habitat is normally dense bush near water.  Nyala ewe The ewe is much smaller than the bull with completely different markings. When she gives birth she hides her lamb for a few days, returning to it to feed it and change its location. When the lamb can keep up with the herd it is allowed to join it. This behavior is the same for Kudu, Sable and some other species of antelope.  Nyala in the bush. This is where the Nyala bull normally spends his daytime...in dense brush.
