Blue wildebeest

The Blue wildebeest, also known as the brindled gnu, is a large antelope native to Africa, distinguished by its robust build and bluish-gray coat. They are highly migratory animals, traveling extensive distances in search of fresh grazing and water, particularly in the Serengeti and Maasai Mara ecosystems. Social animals, they live in large herds that provide protection from predators like lions and crocodiles. Blue wildebeests are herbivores, feeding mainly on grasses, and play a crucial role in their ecosystems by influencing vegetation patterns. Their annual migrations are among the most impressive wildlife spectacles in Africa.
