The Common Eland, or Southern Eland, (Taurotragus oryx) is a savannah and plains antelope found in East and Southern Africa (but also i Kraków's ZOO ;). Common Eland live on the savannah and eat grass, branches and leaves. They are diurnal but tend towards inactivity during the heat of the day. Herds are usually between thirty and eighty individuals but are known to reach upwards of four hundred. It has an unusual social life. They come and go, taking advantage of herd life when they need to without forming close ties. [Wikipedia]
The shadows on the Eland give it an arty feel. Looks like it's running out of grub 2 me, and there's a strange mark on it's side too. Where's the shot taken ?
