Hi, I'll review this. Made some edits as well. FunkMonk (talk) 16:21, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
"the type species being A. strepsiceros." Which means that species would be a synonym, which should be mentioned. Any info about this and other synonyms? Any subspecies?

No reliable sources tell about subspecies, but I just found two synonyms. Added.

"The male is considerably larger and darker (more purplish-grey)" seems to contradict: " while the males become yellowish grey or darker".

Removed purplish-grey. This should be better.

"Females have four nipples" Aren't these referred to as teats in animals?

Replaced with teats. Only the source says nipples.

For some reason the coat colour is described twice.

Merged with 2nd paragraph.

"just like the bushbuck's" Similar to?

Done.

Sometimes only kudu is used in the article. Perhaps lesser kudu should be written each time?

Done.

"A rutting male will test the urine of any female he encounters" How?
"She licks her offspring, particularly in the perineal region" Why?
"and may consume its excreta." Why?

(To your above three queries) I am sorry, but I have only mentioned the info given by the source. The reasons and methods have not been elaborately given, so there is not much that I can do. Nor does any other source say about it.

This filename suggests an alternate common name which could be mentioned: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mountain_Nyala.jpg

It must be a wrong name, as mountain nyala is a separate species.

Thanks for taking up the review. I have used your valuable suggestions, though some points may need further discussion. Let me know any other problems you find in the article. Sainsf <^>_{Talk all words} 11:25, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
