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.
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.
