East African Eland Hunting

The **East African Eland** (*Taurotragus oryx*), a subspecies of the common eland, ranks among Africa’s largest antelopes. These herbivores primarily graze on grasses, leaves, and shoots, and they adapt their diet to include browsing on trees and shrubs during periods of grass scarcity. Known for their cautious nature, they can swiftly escape from predators. While their impressive size and strength provide some deterrence against threats, they remain vulnerable to predators such as lions, leopards, and hyenas.
