Animal of the Day!

Western Giant Eland (Taurotragus derbianus derbianus)

(Photo by Philippe Boissel)

Conservation Status- Critically Endangered

Habitat- Senegal

Size (Weight/Length)- 1,000 kg; 3.5 m

Diet- Grasses; Fruits

Cool Facts- Being the largest species of antelope in both weight and length, the western giant eland is a force to be reckoned with. These giants are non-territorial with small herds being a combination of males and females. During the mating season, mature males separate from their main herd to create a herd of their own. Surprisingly, western giant eland are mostly nocturnal and spend their nights grazing on a variety of grasses. Due to their size and their surprising maximum speed of 70 kilometers per hour few predators outside of large lion prides and saltwater crocodiles have the chance of bringing down an adult giant eland. Sadly, the western giant eland is threatened by illegal poaching for their meat and horns and habitat destruction due to agriculture. Today, conservationists rush to save these beauties through off site breeding and national parks.

Rating- 12/10 (120 centimeter horns backed by 1,000 kilograms of pure muscle.)

I think elands are most beautiful animals that stand out in green surroundings.

Giant eland (Taurotragus derbianus)

The largest species of antelope in the world, giant eland live in woodlands, savanna, and even deserts of tropical Africa. The two subspecies are found in western and central Africa, respectively. Oddly, female giant elands have one more chromosome than males, because the Y-chromosome has fused with one of the autosomes (karyotype). Because of their adaptations for survival in a dry climate, the related common eland is sometimes farmed instead of cattle!

Eland - Tragelaphus oryx. Eland are semi nomadic, moving where grazing is optimal. They are the largest antelope in Africa, and despite their hulking size can jump over 2 meter fences from a standing position. Their sharp horns and large size make a formidable defense, and the grey adults, who resemble battleships, will close ranks around the young if a predator attacks.
