The Nyala (Tragelaphus angasii) is a strikingly coloured, spiral-horned antelope related to Kudus and Bushbucks. Only the male (ram) has horns and has yellow lower legs and a fringe of long hair hanging from its underparts and a mane from its head to its rump. Its coat is dark brown to grey and it has 8-14 vertical white stripes. Females (ewes) are much smaller, have short chestnut hair and up to 18 vertical stripes on their sides. Nyalas are not common and are patchily distributed in north-eastern South Africa. In Kruger Park small groups of Nyala are most often seen in riverine woodland or in the dry savanna adjacent to it and are always close to fresh water. Nyala are mainly browsers, but also eat fresh grass in the wet season and fallen fruits and flowers from trees. Ewes have a single lamb that nurses vigorously, butting its mother’s belly to encourage her to let down milk.
