Connochaetes taurinus
A full grown wildebeest can be 4 ft 2 in (1.27 m) to 4 ft 10 in (1.47 m) at the shoulder and weigh 265–600 lb (120–270 kg).
They inhabit the plains and open woodlands of Africa, especially the Serengeti National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Tanzania, Masai Mara Game Reserve in Kenya and Liuwa Plain National Park in Zambia. Wildebeest can live more than 30 years, though their average lifespan is around 20 years.The wildebeest have a broad muzzle shaped like a lawnmower which helps it with eating short grass
Spotted huge numbers of wildebeest while on safari in Ngorongoro crater.
