The nyala is one of the complex group of Tragelaphinae whose properties have been considered in other chapters of this site.
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.

 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.
