The
Blue Wildebeest is a large antelope, shoulders slightly higher than
rump with a long black mane on its neck and shoulders.
Very gregarious, Wildebeest congregate in large herds. They feed on
grass, preferring short grass to tall. Calves can run with the herd
within minutes of being born. A favorite prey of Lions, Cheetah and
Wild dogs. Hyaena are main predators of calves. Wildebeest often associate
with Zebra.
Bulls that have been displaced from the herd form a separate herd
of eight to ten animals. Note the horns on a Wildebeest bull extend
past his ears. This is not so with the cows.
