 * Hi, I'll review this. Made some edits as well. FunkMonk (talk) 16:21, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
 * "the type species being A. strepsiceros." Which means that species would be a synonym, which should be mentioned. Any info about this and other synonyms? Any subspecies?
 * No reliable sources tell about subspecies, but I just found two synonyms. Added.


 * "The male is considerably larger and darker (more purplish-grey)" seems to contradict: " while the males become yellowish grey or darker".
 * Removed purplish-grey. This should be better.


 * "Females have four nipples" Aren't these referred to as teats in animals?
 * Replaced with teats. Only the source says nipples.


 * For some reason the coat colour is described twice.
 * Merged with 2nd paragraph.


 * "just like the bushbuck's" Similar to?
 * Done.


 * Sometimes only kudu is used in the article. Perhaps lesser kudu should be written each time?
 * Done.


 * "A rutting male will test the urine of any female he encounters" How?
 * "She licks her offspring, particularly in the perineal region" Why?
 * "and may consume its excreta." Why?
 * (To your above three queries) I am sorry, but I have only mentioned the info given by the source. The reasons and methods have not been elaborately given, so there is not much that I can do. Nor does any other source say about it.


 * This filename suggests an alternate common name which could be mentioned: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mountain_Nyala.jpg
 * It must be a wrong name, as mountain nyala is a separate species.

Thanks for taking up the review. I have used your valuable suggestions, though some points may need further discussion. Let me know any other problems you find in the article. Sainsf &lt;^&gt; Talk all words 11:25, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
