Eland crossing the river in Ol Kinyei Conservancy (Masai Mara) yesterday, filmed by our Managing Director, Dr Mohanjeet Brar, on a game drive from Porini Mara Camp. The common eland is a savannah and plains antelope found in East and Southern Africa. An adult male can grow to 1.6 metres (5') tall at the shoulder and can weigh up to 942 kg (2,077 lb)! #gamewatcherssafaris #porinicamps #porinisafaricamps #magicalkenya #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #africanwildlife | Gamewatchers Safaris

Check out the athletic Common Eland at Monarto Safari Park! 🙌 Thanks to keeper Riley for capturing the moment the herd took to hoof for a morning sprint. Did you know, Eland are the world's largest antelopes, together with Giant Eland which are actually about the same size. They stand around two metres tall at the shoulder, with females weighing 275-500kg while bulls weigh about 700-800kg. 😛 Visit and learn more about Eland and other species that roam, run and relax at Monarto! See you soon. |
