Livingstone’s Eland

The Giant Antelope

Livingstone’s eland is a large African antelope known for its size, strength, and spiral horns. Its scale and mature body structure make it a strong trophy species for clients who want a display with size and presence.

A Livingstone’s eland mount needs careful space planning because of the animal’s weight and structure. Shoulder mounts, pedestal mounts, skull mounts, and custom displays work well, especially when the final piece reflects woodland, open savanna, and dry seasonal river settings.
