Common Eland on High Basalt Ground
The common eland is the largest antelope species in the world, distinguished by tight spiral horns, broad ears, and a hanging fold of skin under the throat known as a dewlap. The animal stands on a high volcanic plateau surrounded by flat stone slabs and rocky cliff walls.
Adaptations of the Eland Antelope
Despite their massive size, elands are surprisingly nimble and can jump over obstacles higher than an average adult human. Their large dewlap helps radiate excess body heat during scorching highland days. Elands can also survive extended periods without drinking water by obtaining moisture directly from the plants, tubers, and leaves they eat.
Colors of the Eland and Basalt Landscape
- Coat skin: fawn, tan, or bluish-gray in older males
- Horns: dark gray-brown with lighter spiral ridges
- Dewlap edge: dark brown hair tuft
- Basalt rock and stone slabs: dark slate gray, black, and rust brown
- High plateau ground: dusty yellow and sandy soil
