Wildebeest are known for their annual migration, one of the largest and longest terrestrial migrations in the world.
Despite their bulky appearance, wildebeest can run at speeds up to 80 km/h (50 mph).
Wildebeest calves can stand and run within minutes of being born, an adaptation to evade predators.
The synchronized birthing period of wildebeest results in about 8,000 calves born daily at the peak of the season.
Wildebeest primarily feed on short grasses and play a crucial role in maintaining the grassland ecosystem.
They have a strong sense of smell, which helps them detect water sources and predators.
