Mountain Nyala

Gallery: WildlifePosted August 25, 201657 views2 comments

I was reminded by my images of Lesser Kudu, that I had not posted images of the Mountain Nyala. This is endemic to the mountains of Ethiopia, It is in fact not really a Nyala but is in fact closely related to both the Bushbuck and Sitatunga.
Taken in Bale Mountains Reserve, Ethiopia.

Interesting photo. Shows the habitat very well. Certainly does have a Kudu like appearance. I can't tell if it is just foreshortened, but the head looks small compared to the body. thanks for sharing this image of an interesting animal.

John,
Looking again the head does seem small, but I have nothing else to compare with sad
