Eland

“Is considerably the largest of all the antilopes, being the size of a good horse, and measuring eight feet two inches in length, and full five feet in height at the shoulder. The horns of the male are one and a half feet in length, very thick and heavy, almost straight until within three inches of the fingertips, where they bend outward, attenuated at the points, and surrounded throughout the greater length with a thick spiral wreath, which passes twice completely round them, and finishes by becoming indistinct near the points.” — S. G. Goodrich, 1885
