Re: Eland
nan! Can elands pair up with nyalas or kudus? Because of the stripes in aat's photos...
God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.
Re: Eland
Wikipedia info:
Their coat differs geographically, with elands in north Africa having distinctive markings (torso stripes, markings on legs, dark garters and a spinal crest) that are absent in the south.[13] Apart from a rough mane, the coat is smooth. Females have a tan coat, while the coats of males are darker, with a bluish-grey tinge. Bulls may also have a series of vertical white stripes on their sides (mainly in parts of the Karoo in South Africa). As males age, their coat becomes more grey. Males also have dense fur on their foreheads and a large dewlap on their throats.
So.... In the past ,may be, some Eland followed the Voortrekker and moved to Kruger ....

Re: Eland
They won't interbreed, Flutts!
Althoght sable and Roan have interbred before...
But the result will be infertile!
They travel vast distances, aat...saw on at Nkumbe many years ago, on the Moz border...no idea where it came from!

A massive bull, seen at Chudob waterhole (Etosha National Park). It was alone, just came to drink and did not stay long.
