Common Elands diet is made up of berries, leaves, grass, and branches. The reason for their diet is because they live in the open area in the southern part of Africa and near the foothill near the great South Africa plateau.

They roam the land in herds. Some herds has as little as 30 but can have as many as 400 in it. Since they do not make strong ties with the others in the herds they float from herd to herd.
