The two species of eland are the giant eland (T. derbianus, which is also known as the greater eland, the Derby eland, or Lord Derby’s eland) and the common, or Cape, eland (T. oryx). Giant elands are divided into two subspecies, the eastern giant eland and the western giant eland. Some taxonomies recognize three subspecies of common elands; however, they are not universally recognized.
