	AWF: Wildlife: Wildebeest
		Wildebeest occupy the plains and acacia savannas of eastern Africa.
		When there is enough food for wildebeests to remain relatively sedentary, herds form in the typical fashion of social ungulates: bachelor herds and territorial males with a group of females and offspring.
		Wildebeests are water dependant and grazing, trampling and manuring the grasses on which they feed stimulates new growth as long as the ground has sufficient moisture.

	The Wildebeest Profile
		Wildebeests are found in large herds, often with members of other species such as zebra and Thompson’s gazelles.
		Wildebeests may benefit from forming mixed herds in which they are the dominant species because there is some evidence that predators will often look for individuals that stand out from the crowd because they are easier to concentrate on.
		Wildebeest are found in areas of low annual rainfall during the wet season and in areas with higher annual rainfall in the dry season which may lead one to believe that the wildebeests are avoiding wet ground (McNaughton 1990).

		Wildebeest concentrate by the thousands and even hundreds of thousands on the Serengeti grasslands because the grasses they feed on cover the ground and enable the animals to feed close together.
		These are the pastures the wildebeest prefers, which it is better equipped to crop and process than other associated grazers, having flexible lips, a broad muzzle, and wide row of incisor teeth that enable it to take big bites of short grass.
		Wildebeest calves have tan coats for the first two months, which are similar to the color of most savanna antelopes and arguably as well adapted to concealment.
