More About Wildebeest ...
|
"The wildebeest (from Dutch "wild animal"), also called gnu (pronounced "noo," or "nyoo"), is a large hooved (ungulate) mammal".
The principal foodstuff of wildebeest are grasses. The seasonal nature of the African grasslands forces wildebeest to make annual migrations. The main migration is in May, when more than a million animals move from the plains to the woods; they return in November as summer rains water the plains.
