Common Elands
The Common Eland is another large antelope who is shy because of hunting. Elands weigh more than twice as much as Wildebeest. They are light brown with vertical white stripes on their sides. Their long horns are straight, but they twist a couple of times between the head and the tip. Most of the time, Elands were far from the road, but we did have a few close looks. This pair was at Mikumi National Park.
