Common Eland – Signed Fine Art Print
$19.95 – $27.95
Information about the Common Eland:
The Common Eland – also called the Southern Eland or Eland Antelope – is a large two-toed ungulate native to the savannahs of east and southern Africa. It is the second largest antelope, with only the Giant Eland being larger. It stands about five feet tall at the shoulder (1.6 meters) with the males weighing roughly 1,200 pounds and the females being slightly smaller. The Common Eland is a herbivore feeding mainly on grasses and leaves. They travel in large groups numbering in the hundreds roaming the savannahs feeding on the grasses. They are predated on by most of the large African predators – lions, wild dogs, hyena and cheetahs. They do well in captivity and are common occupants of zoos around the world.
The poster is printed on matte, museum-quality paper with Giclée printing quality:
• Paper thickness: 10.3 mil

Artist’s notes:
The Common Eland was completed on 8.26.2012. While the African animals – especially the ungulates like the eland – don’t sell very well I still enjoy creating them and adding them to the image library. I plan to create a collage of various animals of the African Savannah. I was considering drawing a water buffalo instead, but ended up drawing the eland instead for a few different reasons. The drawing is based on a photo by Amanda Pippin.
