Despite its substantial size and powerful build, the eland is remarkably agile and is instantly recognisable by its long, spiralled horns, heavy body and characteristic dewlap.
Both males and females carry horns, although mature bulls typically develop a much heavier neck and prominent dewlap, with older bulls often displaying a darker coat and distinctive forehead tuft. Coat colour can vary considerably with age, sex and geographic population.
Its size and distinctive features make the Common Eland an exceptional taxidermy specimen. Shoulder mounts, wall pedestals and floor pedestals showcase the imposing head, spiral horns and heavy neck of mature bulls, while full mounts create particularly dramatic statement pieces. European skull mounts offer a striking alternative that places emphasis on the species' impressive horns.
