Blue wildebeest — size comparison — facts and sources

The blue wildebeest is a herd-living antelope of African savannas, grassland plains and open woodland. Heavy forequarters, a sloping back, a long mane and horns create its characteristic outline. Vertical stripes show most clearly on the neck and front of the body.

It feeds chiefly on short, fresh grasses. Some populations undertake extensive seasonal migrations in search of young vegetation. A calf can stand and follow the herd within minutes of birth.
