Blue Wildebeest, also called Gnu are easily recognisable due to their dark stripes on their flanks and curved horns. They are affectionately known as the clowns of the veldt due to their bizarre behaviour and sudden dancing about, whirling and cavorting in the dust for no apparent reason, returning to grazing just as suddenly.
