Wildebeest on the Run
The Blue Wildebeest (Connochaetes taurinus) is also known as the Brindled Gnu and occurs in the central, northern and north-eastern parts of Southern Africa. Adult males have a shoulder height of about 1.5m (5ft) and a mass of about 250Kg (551lb) whereas the females are smaller. The Blue Wildebeest is gregarious and often found in large herds, but it is not unusual to find solitary animals. This beautiful animal was running in the dry bed of the Auob River near Mata Mata in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, South Africa, just after sunrise.
