Description

This Cape Eland (Taurotragus oryx) shoulder mount is a striking example of one of Africa’s largest antelope species. Known for their spiral horns, muscular frame, and calm demeanor, elands are a popular species in safari-style trophy collections and museum exhibits.

Cape elands are native to Southern Africa, thriving in open savannas and lightly wooded grasslands. Males like this one can weigh over 2,000 pounds in the wild. Despite their size, they are agile and can jump high fences with ease.

This mount displays a classic upright posture with a symmetrical horn spread and clean tan coat. It is well-suited for interior design, lodge décor, or educational wildlife settings.
