1. The myth says Wildebeest (Gnu) is an animal assembled from parts of different animals. From the horse’s muzzle, mane, and tail. From the zebra, the body. From a goat, the beards. From the giraffe, the legs.
2. Wildebeest, a delicacy for all predators. Lions choose them for their abundance of meat. Leopards love something smaller, but Wildebeest is also used. Cheetahs love to feast on little “gnu chats”. And jackals huddle in flocks and attack the wildebeest. Even cowardly hyenas chase pregnant antelope.
3. The eyes of wildebeest are designed so that even when they chew grass, bending strongly to the ground, they see the space in front of them and on the sides.
4. Wildebeest’s horns are rarely used and rely on their feet. They need horns in a flock. They stand close to each other and expose their horns like shields from predators.
5. Children of antelopes are the easiest prey, so they are in the middle of the pack, tightly surrounded by adults.
6. After birth, 1 hour, the wildebeest cub is already on its feet, after three to four hours it follows its mother, and after a few days, it can run away from the hyena.
7. Wildebeests form great migration. The greatest nature display, where a million animals migrate between Serengeti National Park in Tanzania and Maasai Mara Game Reserve in Kenya, most of them being the Wildebeests. Would you like to see the great wildebeest migration for yourself?
8. Their best friends are zebras. That’s why you can often see a group of zebras with lone wildebeest among them.
9. Why Wildebeest? The name comes from the sounds that the antelope makes.
Well folks it’s time for Africa you have all imagined, the experience that has been depicted repeatedly in books, movies, and television. Grab the cameras, get those well-fitted safari outfits and a bucket hat, and head out on a wildlife safari drive into the most famous national park in Africa, the Serengeti.
