Oryx, Kudu and Gnu are types of which creature?
"kudu and nyala form a clade, and collectively separated from the sister clade 13.8 million years ago. The lesser kudu has 38 diploid chromosomes. However, unlike others in the subfamily Tragelaphinae, the X chromosome and Y chromosome are compound and each is fused with one of two identical autosomes. The lesser kudu is a spiral-horned antelope. The head-and-body length is typically between . Males reach about at the shoulder, while females reach . Males typically weigh and females . The bushy tail is long, white underneath and with a black tip at the end. Distinct signs of sexual dimorphism are"

The character is voiced in Japanese by Mayumi Tanaka and by Rachael Lillis in English.

They belong to the family Bovidae, which includes antelopes, cattle, goats, sheep, and other even-toed horned ungulates. ""Connochaetes"" includes two species, both native to Africa: the black wildebeest or white-tailed gnu (""C. gnou""), and the blue wildebeest or brindled gnu (""C. taurinus""). Fossil records suggest these two species diverged about one million years ago, resulting in a northern and a southern species.

"Kagu The kagu or cagou (""Rhynochetos jubatus"") is a crested, long-legged, and bluish-grey bird endemic to the dense mountain forests of New Caledonia. It is the only surviving member of the genus Rhynochetos and the family Rhynochetidae, although a second species has been described from the fossil record. Measuring in length, it has pale grey plumage and bright red legs. Its 'nasal corns' are a unique feature not shared with any other bird. Almost flightless, it spends its time on or near the ground, where it hunts its invertebrate prey, and builds a nest of sticks on the forest floor."
"giant eland and common eland (""T. oryx""). It was found that chromosomes involved in centric fusions in these species used a complete set of cattle painting probes generated by laser microdissection. The study confirmed the presence of the chromosome translocation known as Robertsonian translocation (1;29), a widespread evolutionary marker common to all known tragelaphid species. An accidental mating between a male giant eland and a female kudu produced a male offspring, but it was azoospermic. Analysis showed that it completely lacked germ cells, which produce gametes. Still, the hybrid had a strong male scent and exhibited male behaviour. Chromosomal examination"

Longclaws are slender, often colorful, ground-feeding insectivores of open country. They are ground nesters, laying up to four speckled eggs. They are named for their unusually long hind claws, which are thought to help in walking on grass. There are only between 10,000 and 19,000 Sharpe's longclaw left in Kenya. The genus ""Macronyx"" was introduced by the English naturalist William John Swainson in 1827 with the Cape longclaw as the type species. The name combines the Classical"

""Gryponyx"" has been estimated to have been about in length. It was collected from the Upper Elliot Formation of the Stormberg Group (Karoo Basin), dating to the Hettangian to Sinemurian stages of the Lower Jurassic period. It was originally described by Broom (1911) as a theropod. Huene (1932) named the family Gryponychidae to contain ""Gryponyx"" and"
