wildebeests

Serengeti migration herds

Wildebeests are large African antelopes with curved horns, a shaggy mane, and a bearded face—also called gnus.

They migrate in massive herds across the Serengeti, one of nature's great spectacles.

The plural can also be wildebeest: A herd of wildebeest crossed the river.
