The Eland

An African antelope, the Eland is gregarious and slow moving, usable as domestic animals, and lives up to 20 years. The common Eland is found in central and southern Africa. Distinguishing features are the fawn-colored coat, a fringed dewlap which can extend down to its knees, and strong horns spiraling straight up about 28 inches in large males, longer and more slender in females.
