MIAMI – Zoo Miami introduced Friday the latest births of three Nyala antelopes.
Zoo officers stated 2 males have been born on May twenty fourth and May twenty sixth, and one feminine was born on May twenty eighth.
All the calves are doing properly and might now be seen on the Nyala habitat with the relaxation of the herd.
“Nyala are medium sized antelopes that are commonly found in the woodlands and thickets of Southern Africa, usually near water. Males can reach 250 pounds and have a distinctly different appearance than females with long spiraling horns, a dark gray coat, and a tall mane of hair that runs along the top of their back and under their chin and neck. Females rarely exceed 150 pounds, do not have any horns or manes, and have a chestnut red coloration. Both sexes have a series of vertical white stripes along their flanks,” zoo officers stated.
They reside about 16-19 years, their fundamental predators are lions, leopards, hyenas and painted canine.
