Common Eland on the Rolling Highveld
An eland stands beside a large rock on the breezy Highveld grassland plateau. As one of the largest antelope species in the world, the eland combines remarkable physical strength with an ability to thrive across high-altitude pastures.
Features of the World's Largest Antelope
Both male and female elands bear tightly twisted horns, though male horns are noticeably thicker and stouter. When walking, elands produce a distinct clicking sound made by their hooves or knee joints, which can be heard from a considerable distance across open plains. Despite weighing up to two thousand pounds, an eland can easily jump over a standard fence.
