	Mountain Nyala - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mountain Nyala were named for their similarity to the Nyala but they are now considered closer relatives of the Kudu.
		Mountain Nyala have grey-brown coats sometimes with poorly defined white stripes and splotches, their coats darken as they age, the underside is lighter than the rest of the coat.
		Mountain Nyala live in woodland, heath, and scrub at altitudes of at least 2000 metres above sea level sometimes wandering as high as 4000 metres.

	Bale Mountains National Park
		The climate of the Bale Mountains, as is to be expected in a high altitude mountainous region, is characterized by a high rainfall and periods of damp cloudy weather, interspersed with periods of sparkling sunny weather with brilliant blue skies.
		The mountains are surrounded to the northwest and northeast by fertile plains at 2,500 m that are heavily utilized for agriculture mainly wheat growing.
		Mountain Nyala are especially numerous in the Gaysay area, and occur in small scattered groups else where in the Park at all altitudes.

	Mountain Nyala
		The Mountain Nyala was the last of the great African antelopes to become known to science, and still today very little is known about its habits or the full extent of its range.
		Nyala are a magnificent sight, particularly the old bulls with their fine spiralled horns.
		Nyala are similar to Greater Kudu but can be distinguished by the single spiral horns and the absence of clear white stripes on the body.

		Mountain nyala males are much larger than females, a character typical of the spiral-horned antelopes (Brown, 1969a; Nowak, 1991).
		The mountain nyala is limited in its distribution to the Bale massif (mountain range) in the Arussi and Bale Provinces of Ethiopia (Brown, 1969b; Kingdon, 1997).

	Comparative Placentation
		Aside from the shy nyala (and "mountain nyala") they include the greater and lesser kudus, eland, sitatunga and bushbuck (Nowak, 1999).
		Thus, female nyalas have 56 chromosomes, all of which are acrocentrics with the exception of the large, first compound metacentric element, while males have 55 chromosomes due to an Y-autosome translocation (Wurster and Benirschke, 1968).
		At the time of its first publication, this unpaired submetacentric element was found to have a large pericentric segment that was a late-labeling stretch and was assumed to be the compound Y-chromosome, with the late label representing the Y portion.

		The mountain nyala is endemic to Ethiopia (found only in Ethiopia) and is limited in its distribution to the Bale and Arussi provinces of Ethiopia.
		A forest animal, the nyala flourishes in a mosaic of high-altitude woodland (juniper and Hagenia forest), heath, moorland and valley-bottom grassland ranging from approximately 2,100 m to 4,200 m.
		A young mountain nyala stays closely attached to its mother for as long as 2 years, by which time female calves are themselves pregnant and males have long horns and join bachelor groups.

	The Murulle Foundation - Current Projects (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		In 2001, TMF and its partners were the first to investigate and assess mountain nyala habitat on the eastern escarpment of the Bale Mountains, which are now reported by the Ethiopian Wildlife Conservation Department to support over 1,500 mountain nyala.
		The Murulle Foundation is currently conducting monthly surveys to determine average group sizes of mountain nyala and sex ratios (including calves to mothers) in dense montane forests that have minimal human or livestock presence.
		Similar studies have been conducted in the past at Bale Mountains National Park, but TMF researchers speculate that those results may be influenced by large concentrations of people, domestic animals, degraded habitat, and unusually high mountain nyala densities.

		The mountain nyala is not a montane specialist, but has been restricted to Afromontane areas through habitat loss.

	Summary of Impacts
		Mountain nyala were shot, forestlands were cleared; no infrastructure existed.
		A villagization scheme in the Bale Mountains, along with agricultural developments, had a similar effect in that people were drawn out of the park.
		The lack of local-level support for the government's policies was most evident during the transition from imperial rule to social rule (1974-1978), and during the shift from social rule to democratic rule (a few weeks in 1991).

		The mountain nyala is endemic to Ethiopia (East, 1996), being found only to the east of the Rift Valley (Wilson and Reeder, 1993).
		The species is restricted to the high mountains of Ethiopia and the suitable range is significantly smaller than the total EO as drawn in Fig.
		Even though the number of patches seems to be high for the small AO, the LPI of the suitable areas indicates the availability of at least one larger patch that accounts for about 73% of the total AO.
