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.
