MammalMonday: 1/2 The black wildebeest (Connochaetes gnou) is a striking antelope species native to the grassy plains of southern Africa, known for its robust build and distinctive curved horns. 🧪🦤🌍🦊
2/2 Forming vast migratory herds, they play a vital role in shaping the dynamics of their ecosystem through grazing and movement patterns. Despite facing historical declines due to habitat loss and hunting, conservation efforts have seen populations rebound.
I recall a tour bus driver at the San Diego Zoo describing the wildebeest as "an animal that looks like it was designed by a committee".
