wildebeest
Serengeti migration star
A wildebeest is a large African antelope with a heavy build, curved horns, and a shaggy mane—also called a gnu.
Wildebeest are famous for their massive seasonal migrations across the Serengeti, where vast herds cross rivers and plains: We watched thousands of wildebeest streaming across the savanna.
