Notes: |
Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Tanzania - The wildebeest (plural, wildebeest or wildebeests), also called the gnu, is an antelope of the genus Connochaetes. It is a hooved (ungulate) mammal.
The name wildebeest finds its origin in the Dutch and Afrikaans words wild and beest, which mean "wild animal" and "beest" in Afrikaans means "cattle" (or "steer"). Although the name is derived from the Dutch language, the name wildebeest doesn't officially exist in the Dutch language. The Dutch name for wildebeest is gnoe.
