Wildebeests are found in Africa. Also known as gnus, they get their name ‘wildebeest’ due to their menacing appearance.
They have large heads, shaggy manes, pointed beards, and sharp curved horns. They move about in large groups, and are food for the predators of the African savannahs, such as lions, cheetahs, wild dogs, and hyenas.
The grassy plains and open woodlands of central, southern and eastern Africa, particularly the Serengeti in Tanzania and Kenya, are the grazing grounds of the wildebeests. They graze about incessantly day and night, and travel in large herbs. The two major types of wildebeests are the blue wildebeests and the black wildebeests.
