Nyala

Nyala angasii

Nyala

Adult nyala inhabit bushveld, riverine woodland, and dense thickets, usually browsing on leaves, shoots, flowers, and fallen fruit. They are shy antelope that move carefully through cover and often feed in the cooler parts of the day. Mature males carry long spiral horns and use side-on displays, sparring, and head impacts when competing with rivals.
