Overview

Eland (Taurotragus oryx)

The Eland is Africa’s largest antelope, known for its impressive size, gentle nature, and striking appearance. Despite their bulk — with males weighing up to 1,000 kg — elands are surprisingly agile and capable of jumping fences over 2 meters high!

Both males and females have spiral-shaped horns, and their coats range from light brown to greyish-tan with faint white stripes and a distinctive dewlap. Found in savannas, grasslands, and open woodlands, elands are highly adaptable and often move in herds.

Majestic and calm, the eland symbolizes strength and grace — a true giant of the African plains.
