The animal on the cover of Practical Linear Algebra for Data Science is a nays antelope, also known as the lowland nyala or simply nyala (Tragelaphus angasii). Female and juvenile nyalas are typically a light reddish-brown, while adult males have a dark brown or even grayish coat. Both males and females have white stripes along the body and white spots on the flank. Males have spiral-shaped horns that can grow up to 33 inches long, and their coats are much shaggier, with a long fringe hanging from their throats to their hindquarters and a mane of thick black hair along their spines. Females weigh about 130 pounds, while males can weigh as much as 275 pounds.
Nyalas are native to the woodlands of southeastern Africa, with a range that includes Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa, Eswatini, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. They are shy creatures, preferring to graze in the early morning, late afternoon, or nighttime, and spending most of the hot part of the day resting among cover. Nyalas form loose herds of up to ten animals, though older males are solitary. They are not territorial, though males will fight over dominance during mating.
Nyalas are considered a species of least concern, though cattle grazing, agriculture, and habitat loss pose a threat to them.
