Pictures
I am pretty sure that the pictures show the wrong kind of animal. It rather looks like Sitatunga, Tragelaphus spekei and not Tragelaphus angasi

Yes they are Nyala - but I disagree that 'Nyala' is a Swahili word - these animals do not live where Swahili speakers live, Nyala is a Zulu word.Michaelwild (talk) 07:27, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Nyala is indeed a Swahili word and is derived from the Zulu word Inyala. Dogo (talk) 12:24, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
