However, the giant eland is somewhat larger on average than the common eland and is thus the largest species of antelope in the world.[17][18][19][20] They are typically between 220 and 290 cm (7.2 and 9.5 ft) in head-and-body length and stand approximately 130 to 180 cm (4.3 to 5.9 ft) at the shoulder. Giant elands exhibit sexual dimorphism, as males are larger than females.
