Eland (Taurotragus)
Elands are the largest antelopes of Africa, standing nearly 2 m high at the shoulder, and a fully grown male may weigh over 700 kg. Both sexes have heavy, spirally twisted horns of up to 1 m in length. Elands form large herds, often in association with zebras or giraffes, possibly in the hope of warding off lions.
