About The Blue Wildebeest (Connochaetes taurinus) is a large ungulate mammal of the Bovid family and one of two species of wildebeest. It grows to 1.7 meters shoulder height and attains a body mass of up to 380 kilograms. They range the open plains, bushveld and dry woodlands of Southern and East Africa, realizing a life span in excess of twenty years. This herbivore is a grazing animal that is often sighted in open grasslands or clearings in a savanna. The male is highly territorial using scent markings and other devices to protect his domain. The largest population is in the Serengeti, numbering over one million animals.

The name “Blue Wildebeest” derives from a conspicuous silvery blue sheen to his short haired hide, differentiating this species from the plainer black genus member Black Wildebeest. The name "gnu" originates from the Khoikhoi name for these animals, "gnou".

Sorry I didnt reply to your comments
and otherwise, been very busy with
my friends' funeral and my trip which
starts tomorrow, looking forward for
some sun and wonderful nature in Greece!

Will be back in a week, wishing you
all a great time and good health!! xxJen

Wonderful portrait of a very unusual animal. I'm assuming this species also undertakes the sort of seasonal and dramatic mass migration that its cousins in the Serengeti do.

Impressive species I do not get on my way everyday. Today seems an exception. Picture is full of detail and an interesting about. Good work !
My condolences with respect to your lost friend. Don't know what to say. I hope you will get some time to reflection during your trip and start enjoying again. Continuously use your eyes, change some POV's that will help.
I'm sure you will not behave like a Blue Wildebeest on the holiday island, be simply Blue Eyed. Open eyed dear Jen,
I wish you a nice week full of reflections and good discoveries,
hugs and kisses,
Paul
