wildebeest
Wildebeests, also known as gnus, are large herbivorous mammals native to Africa, particularly known for their massive migrations. They have a sturdy build with a distinctive appearance, featuring a sloping back, a large head, and long legs. Wildebeests typically live in herds and are an integral part of the African ecosystem, grazing on grasses and playing a crucial role in maintaining grassland health. Their annual migration, driven by the search for food and water, is one of nature's most spectacular events, attracting predators such as lions and hyenas, making them a key part of the food chain.
