Gnu

Gnu

Like white-tailed gnus (Connochaetes gnou), blue gnus live in mixed herds of thirty to five hundred individuals. During the dry season, they congregate by the tens of thousands and migrate over hundreds of miles in search of water and food. They follow zebra herds, which graze on tall grasses, leaving the shorter grasses for gnus and other herbivores.During the mating season, the males try to isolate a small harem from the larger herd to increase their chances of mating without competition Both sexes have curved horns; males' are almost twice the size of females'
