Tragelaphus angasii, also known as the Nyala, is a spiral-horned antelope native to southern Africa. They inhabit dense thickets, woodlands, and areas near water. Males are larger, with striking spiral horns and a dark, shaggy coat, while females are smaller, with a lighter, reddish-brown coat. Nyalas are known for their sexual dimorphism and distinctive white markings.

Tragelaphus angasii, commonly known as the Nyala, is native to southeastern Africa. Its geographical distribution includes countries such as Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa, Swaziland, and Zimbabwe. The species is predominantly found in the southeastern regions of Africa, with a significant presence in protected reserves and national parks within these countries.

The Nyala typically inhabits dense thickets and riverine woodlands, often near water sources. These areas are characterized by a subtropical climate with distinct wet and dry seasons. The vegetation in these habitats includes a mix of evergreen and deciduous trees, thick underbrush, and grasslands, providing ample cover and food resources.

Nyala are browsers, feeding on leaves, twigs, and fruits, which they find in the lower strata of dense vegetation. They are well-adapted to their environments, with a preference for areas that offer both cover and food. The presence of water is crucial as they require frequent access to drinking sources. Their ecological role includes seed dispersal and serving as prey for larger predators such as lions and leopards.
