| | Greater Kudu, Nyala and Bushbuck at Londolozi (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | Nyala similarly also selected Knob Thorn, Russet Bushwillow and Buffalo-thorn as important species (about 20% of diet in all seasons), but showed more variation than Kudu, especially with regard to grass, as this species is a mixed feeder and both browses and grazes. |
 | | Nonetheless, there is still considerable overlap – primarily in the dry season when Bushbuck and Nyala have a 86.9% overlap in dietary selection and a 89% overlap in habitat selection, suggesting that during these periods Nyala, as the larger animal, may have an adverse affect on Bushbuck. |
 | | An analysis of dietary and habitat overlap highlighted some minor areas of competition between Kudu and Bushbuck and Kudu and Nyala, but not to same degree of that between Bushbuck and Nyala which in the dry season, perhaps because of reduced resources, showed considerable dietary and habitat overlap. |
