Gnu (Wildebeest)

Gnu, also known as wildebeest, is a large antelope native to Africa, recognized for its robust build, shaggy mane, and distinctive head with curved horns. They are highly social animals, often forming vast herds that migrate across plains to access fresh grazing and water sources. Gnus play a vital role in their ecosystem, supporting predators like lions and scavengers. Their seasonal migrations are one of the most impressive natural events, driven by the availability of food and water. Adapted to open landscapes, wildebeests are vital for maintaining the health and balance of their savanna and grassland habitats.
