    Default Eland Bulls.

    Photo taken from my kitchen door a few minutes ago. We've had good rain lately.

    The bastards bite (or maybe they sting), it hurts. You can not kill them by slapping or punching, need to pinch them between your nails or decapitate them. They love to crawl into hair or beards and then launch a sneak attack.
