Among the herbivores of the African savannah, wildebeests and buffalo are the most common. Compared to the tall and mighty buffalo, the wildebeest is a bit confusing. The animal has a face like a horse, but has a pair of horns and a long beard and hair that resembles a goat.
Strictly speaking, wildebeest should be a kind of "cow". Because it is a member of the bovine family.
Wildebeest is a group of animals that live. In the savannah of Africa, every year from March to May is the rainy season, all kinds of plants grow freely, to the island in July, there will be a dry dry season, this time the wildebeest will spontaneously form a group migration, millions of wildebeest activities together, it is really shocking.
Wildebeest herds set off from the Tanzanian steppes and travel nearly 3,000 kilometers to kenya's grasslands, a wonder of the world that countless nature lovers hope to witness. Wildebeest herds sometimes meet buffalo herds, two species that seem to be very different, but in fact have a special relationship. Biologically, wildebeests belong to the bovine family.
It is a member of the subfamily Antelope in the family Bovine. But if you have to think of a wildebeest as a "horned cow", it is actually not right, because cattle have differentiated in subfamily, such as goats, which are actually members of the bovine subfamily. Wildebeest is located in the antelope subfamily, there are four different animal genera, namely wildebeest, horned wildebeest, wildebeest, and Rie's antelope, since goats are also members of the bovine family, it is a bit funny that we regard wildebeest as cattle.
But in any case, the wildebeest has nothing to do with the horse, it just has a horse face on the outside.
