Скачать или смотреть Eland - The Largest Antelope in the World

An eland is one of the largest antelope species found in Africa. There are two main types: the common eland and the giant eland. Elands are known for their size, with males often weighing between 1,300 to 2,200 pounds (600 to 1,000 kilograms) and standing up to 6 feet (about 1.8 meters) at the shoulder. Despite their size, elands are surprisingly agile and can jump over 6 feet high.

They have a distinctive appearance, featuring a short, reddish-brown to grayish coat with vertical white stripes along their bodies. Both males and females have spiraled horns, though the horns are thicker and longer in males. Elands are herbivores and graze on grasses, leaves, and other vegetation. They are typically found in open savannas, grasslands, and woodlands across parts of East, Central, and Southern Africa.
