A herd of Common eland with calves walk away from a water body in Africa

This is Nova, our Eland bull, enjoying a good scratch courtesy of a perfectly placed branch. 🪵 Here at Safari West, our largest antelope species is the Common Eland, with full-grown bulls weighing up to 2,200 pounds! Their slightly larger cousin, the Giant Eland (also known as the Derby Eland), can tip the scales at a whopping 2,600 pounds. As a whole, Eland are the largest species of antelope in the world—and Nova wears that title proudly! 📸: Animal Caregiver Lori #SafariWest #SantaRosa #Sono
