There are many different types of antelope in the world, but when you are thinking of large antelope, the biggest of all is the eland. Antelope are native to Africa, and you will find elands in African savannas. Large antelope have two different species–the common eland and the giant eland. Like so many other animals, the eland population has declined rapidly because of hunting and habitat destruction. Among giant elands, one subspecies is already on the List of Endangered Species.
