Njala

Nyala

The Nyala, part of the spiral-horned family, is probably the most elegant antelope of the African bush. The Nyala shows the highest sexual dimorphism among the spiral-horned family. Because of the large difference between Nyala males and females it is used as a divider between large and small antelope. Any male antelope larger, including the male Nyala, is referred to as a “Bull” and any male antelope smaller is referred to as a “Ram”. Whereas any female antelope larger than the female Nyala is referred to as a “Cow” and any female antelope smaller, including the female Nyala, is called “Ewe”.
