The mountain nyala (Amharic: የተራራ ኒዮላ) (Tragelaphus buxtoni) or balbok, is a large antelope found in high altitude woodlands in a small part of central Ethiopia. It is a monotypic species (without any identified subspecies ) first described by English naturalist Richard Lydekker in 1910.
The nyala is a spiral-horned and middle-sized antelope, between a bushbuck and a kudu. [16] It is considered the most sexually dimorphic antelope. [ 2 ] The nyala is typically between 135–195 cm (53–77 in) in head-and-body length. [ 2 ]

This review split the genus Tragelaphus into 4 separate genera, Tragelaphus (bushbuck, sitatunga, bongo, nyala, and gedemsa or mountain nyala), Ammelaphus (lesser kudu), Strepsiceros (greater kudu), and their close relatives Taurotragus (elands). The greater kudu was split into four species based on genetic evidence and morphological features ...
The Ethiopian wolf is perhaps the most researched of all the endangered species within Ethiopia. This, however, is likely not the case as a breeding pack has been seen, and photographed by Bale Mountain Lodge guests inside the park's Harenna Forest in 2015. Several conservation programs are in effect to help endangered species in Ethiopia.
Kuni-Muktar Mountain Nyala Sanctuary is a wildlife sanctuary in Oromia Region of Ethiopia. It was set up in 1989 through the intervention of the Zoological Society of London to safeguard a small decreasing population of the critically endangered Mountain nyala ( Tragelaphus buxtoni ).
Tragelaphus is a genus of medium-to-large-sized spiral-horned antelopes.It contains several species of bovines, all of which are relatively antelope-like.Species in this genus tend to be large in size and lightly built, and have long necks and considerable sexual dimorphism.
Phylogenetic relationships of the mountain nyala from combined analysis of all molecular data (Willows-Munro et.al. 2005) In a 2007 study, 19 genetically-based groupings were found, some of which do not correspond to previously described subspecies; eight of these were grouped under the nominate taxon.
