The eland is the world’s largest and slowest antelope but they are great jumpers, despite their huge size, and can clear a two-metre fence with ease. Bulls of both species attain shoulder heights of 180 cm  and weigh nearly one ton.

The common eland is better adapted than cattle to the African environment, and is easily domesticated. It has been farmed for its meat and milk in both South Africa and Russia. A female can produce up to 7kg of milk per day, which is richer in fat than cow milk.
