Nyala is between the Bushbuck and the Kudu in both size
and looks. Nyala are very shy and secretive antelope which
makes hunting them very difficult, as they tend to stick
to the thick bush. The principle enemy of Nyala is the
Leopard which also occurs in the Nyala natural habitat.
Nyala are browsers and will eat almost all trees, and
shoots, and are also known to graze on new grass. When
the Nyala bulls fight this is preceded by a display which
involves raising the crest on the back, thus making the
animal looking much bigger than he really is. In these
fight it is the male which the longest hair that often
wins.
