[edit] Subfamily

I think an error occurred: the subfamily of common Eland is not "Bovinae" but "Antilopinae". I'm going to correct it.

The Taxonomic Information System, American Society of Mammalogists Index for the Mammalian Species and [1] classify eland in subfamily Bovinae. I Have reverted it back to Bovinae. -- Rooivalk 05:04, 10 June 2006 (UTC)


upto 3,5 m tall. The second tallest land animal then? Herds of upto 400? whos writing this?

These pages seem to agree, although the 3.5m figure does seem too high. I've adjusted it. [2] [3] [4]. Lunkwill 09:37, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
