Wildebeests, also known as Gnus, are African antelopes renowned for their massive migrations across the savannas. With their sturdy builds, sloping backs, and striped coats, they are well-adapted to life on open grasslands.
Known for their seasonal mass migration, wildebeests are continually on the move in search of grass and water.
