Female Eland
Description
The eland, an ox-like antelope, is the largest antelope species in Sub-Saharan Africa. They are a sight to behold and one can say that they have a dignified and majestic look to them. They are usually quite shy and run away if they sense danger is near.
The Eland can stand between 150 centimetres to 190 centimetres (approximately 59 -74 inches) at shoulder height. Females (400 – 600 kilograms)(approximately 881 – 1322 pounds) weigh less than males (700 – 1000 kilograms)(approximately 1543 – 2204 pounds). Despite their massive body size, Eland are athletic jumpers and can easily clear fences of 2 metres (approximately 78 inches) if startled.
Eland belong to the spiral-horned antelope family along with the Kudu, Blesbuck, and Nyala. Both male and female Eland have horns. The males are short and thick while the females are long and slender.
