Title: wildebeest

DID YOU KNOW?

Massive Migration: The northward journey of Africa's 1.5 million wildebeests, usually occurring in May or June, is the largest mammal migration in the world.

Black and Blue: There are two wildebeest species: the blue and the less commonly known black wildebeest. The latter has been essentially exterminated in the wild; today's relatively small herds are derived from captive specimens and exist only on game farms and in zoos.

A Silvery Sheen: The blue wildebeest has a silvery blue sheen to its short-haired hide (the black wildebeest has a relatively plain hide).
