中文注释：（网友翻译，有待改进，请跟帖发表自己看法）
在南非的德拉肯斯堡地域，山坡上丰富的植物叶子、根茎等，吸引着各种各样的哺乳类动物，包括大羚羊（eland）这种世界上最大的羚羊物种。然而，过度放牧和水土流失，让这片非洲动植物的栖息地面临危险。




英文注释：
Grazing Eland, Drakensberg Range, South Africa, 2001
The rich foliage, roots, and bulbs on the slopes of South Africa's Drakensberg Range attract a wide variety of mammals, including eland, the world's largest antelope species. Logging, overgrazing, and soil erosion, however, threaten this critical African habitat.
