White Bearded Wildebeest by rightEyElash
The wildebeest, also known as the gnu, is a large antelope. The bull's deep grunts sound like a giant croaking frog. Because of its appearance and spirited behavior, Dutch settlers in South Africa named the animal wildebeest, which means wild beast. Migration of more than a million wildebeest, at its peak in the month of May, is joined by other animals. The animals migrate to open woodlands to feed until November, then return to the Serengeti. White-bearded gnu have increased greatly in number in recent years. In 1950, a census revealed approximately 100,000 individuals in the Serengeti region; today about 1.5 million white-bearded wildebeest are believed to be present. Wildebeest are also an important food source for predators such as lions and hyenas.
This animal is made from the Common Wildebeest. It is a stat change and a recolor. The animal likes savannah terrain and foliage from Africa only. Pretty much the same as the Common Wildebeest.
