Eland, which are the largest of all antelopes, resemble the bongo 
in the presence of horns in both sexes ; these forming a close spiral 
like a screw, with an upward and outward direction. They likewise 
resemble the bongo in possessing a long, tufted, ox-like tail, but have 
a distinct dewlap. Female horns are more slender than those of the 
bulls.
