Blue Wildebeest Hunting:

  • According to African legend, God made wildebeests from bits and pieces left over from all the other animals.
  • They are often referred to as the “poor man’s buffalo” as well as “brindled gnu.”
  • They have been known to reach speeds of up to 50 miles per hour!
  • Blue Wildebeests are generally shy and timid, although they can become very aggressive.
  • When being aggressive, Blue Wildebeests can be seen stomping, groaning, and thrusting their horns.
  • Blue Wildebeests are known to travel in herds with zebras, allowing the better hearing and vision of the zebra to act as a detection system for danger.
  • Another reason is that zebras eat the upper parts of the foliage and grasses which expose the lower parts that Wildebeests prefer to eat.
  • They numbered 250,000 in 1960 and have grown to 1.5 million today!
  • 85 percent of calves are born within a two-week period to maximize survival from predators.
  • Newborn calves are able to walk within 10 minutes of being born!
