#CapeEland

Two-in-one at #Watatunga - the giant #CapeEland (the largest member of the antelope family, weighs literally a ton) and just visible in this shot as a smaller, dark shape its boon companion, a #Nilgai (these creatures would never meet in the wild since their habitats are on different continents). Our guide reckoned that the nilgai stays close to the Eland because there is always plenty of food that way.

Watatunga's largest resident, a cape eland and nearby its inveterate companion, a Nilgai, smaller and not fully visible in this shot. Aside from its bulk the eland has four pale stripes across its otherwise brown body and a fine ornate pair of horns. In the foreground is a giant fodder trough.
