I almost got gored by this guy. I was at the gate with our Guide, feeding him flower buds and the eland moved his head and I almost got his horns in my lower chest. Thanks to Shieni for moving me out of the way. The elan just moved his head - he wasn't trying to hurt me. Also a note, the Rangers no longer put this guy in the enclosure at night, he's out all night so he will have to fend for himself now.
