Taurotragus derbianus: Comments
Comment:
Status: U.S. ESA - Endangered as T. d. derbianus; IUCN - Endangered as Tragelaphus d. derbianus (but also listed, from the same evaluation date, as Lower Risk (nt) for Taurotragus derbianus), Lower Risk (nt) as Tragelaphus d. gigas
Comment:
Comments: Regarded as conspecific with T. oryx by Haltenorth (1963:86), but usually treated as a full species; see Ansell (1972:26), whose synonymy is followed here. "Giant eland" refers only to the subspecies gigas
