A Livingstone Eland Bull. So... you have 4 different Eland subspecies - north to south you have Giant / Lord Derby Eland, Pattersons, livingstone, and Cape (I imagine they all can iterbreed w viable offspring - to my knowledge the Giant Eland mixbreeding with the others hasn't been put to this test due to geographic boundries). The others can and do mix. Basically the Giant Eland is huge and in a difficult part of the contenent. The Livingstones and The Patterns look similar with the Livingston being larger in body and widely distributed. The Cape Eland has no stripes and is the furthest down the contient of Africa.
More to come!
