The giant eland (Taurotragus derbianus), also known as the Lord Derby eland, is an open-forest and savanna antelope. A herbivore, eating grasses, foliage and branches, they usually form small herds consisting of 15–25 members, both males and females. Giant elands are not territorial, and have large home ranges. They are naturally alert and wary, which makes them difficult to approach and observe, and they can run at up to 70 km/h (43 mph) and use this speed as a defence against predators.

This was a commission and part of a growing collection of wildlife which are in realtive size to each other (Wildebeest, Lord Derby Eland, Bongo, Cape Buffalo, with many others still to come - Sable Antelope, Roan Antelope, Kudu, Cape Eland)

This is the first departure from ‘realistic’ into something a bit free-er in terms of style.
