General
|
The Eland is the largest antelope in South Africa, with large males sometimes going over a 1000 kg. They generally live in small herds of mixed males and females with a dominant bull. Eland are great wanderers and will often break game fences to get out, or they will just jump the fence, a 2m fence being no problem to them. They live in mixed habitat, from bushveld to mountain slopes and are very adaptable. | |
