Nice vid, thanks!
Don't worry about the trolls and their comments - happens all the time on Youtube as you know!
I'm off to Bale in a few weeks - was this footage shot near Dinsho?
Thanks again!

The Mountain Nyala is not listed on CITES as endangered. Never has been. It is listed as threatened simply due to the fact that it occupies a very limited habitat range in Ethiopia and that range has been subjected to intense logging and farming.
But it is still a legal game animal in Ethiopia and the trophies are fully importable into the USA. This would not be possible if it was endangered. And, the money generated from hunting is the only thing keeping it from being endangered.

So beautiful animals...we don`t get mani docs about them or about Oryx o sable antelopes!!
The Mountain Nyala is not considered an endangered species. It is still legal to hunt it in Ethiopia and the trophies can still be imported into the USA.
Why the misleading title?

@flags80747 They were considered endangered when this was shot and I believe they still are.
