As hunters, we add the common and giant eland for a total of nine; the much larger elands are of genus
Taurotragus. The bongo, species T.
Common ungulates include plains zebra (Equus burchelli), impala (Aepyceros melampus), dik-dik (Madoqua kirkii), Grant's gazelle (Gazella granti), African elephant (Loxodonta africana), hartebeest (Alcelaphus buselaphus), oryx (Oryx beisa), eland (

One of the prospective venison and/or game animals is eland (
Taurotragus oryx).
The site is managed as a wildlife reserve and supports about 1500 large mammals including impala Aepyceros melampus, blue wildebeest Connochaetes taurinus, greater kudu Tragelaphus strepsiceros, common eland
Taurotragus oryx, zebra Equus quagga and giraffe Giraffa camelopardalis.
In savannah areas, the species most appreciated by trophy hunters are the bush elephant (Loxodonta africana), the African buffalo (Syncerus caffer) and the large antelopes such as the giant eland (

[1] and Jolivet and Verma [12], the authors discuss behaviours analogous to cycloalexy in vertebrates: muskoxen (Ovibos moschatus), eland (
Taurotragus oryx (Pallas, 1766)), elk (Cervus canadensis (Erxleben, 1777)), and penguins.
evertsi is a two-host species and its preferred wildlife hosts include zebras and eland
