The species that forms the large herds of the Serengetis-Mara ecosystem of Tanzania and Kenya is variously known as the brindled, blue- or white-bearded gnu. Scientists do, however, make a distinction and list the blue as a separate race restricted to southern Tanzania. The wildebeest described here is the white-bearded of southern Kenya and northern Tanzania.
The head of the wildebeest is large and box-like. Both males and females have curving horns, that are close together at the base, but curve outward, inward and slightly backward. The body looks disproportionate, as the front end is heavily built, the hindquarters slender and the legs spindly. The wildebeest is gray with darker vertical stripes that look almost black from a distance. This species has a dark name and a long tail. Newborns are a yellowish-brown, but change to adult color at about 2 months.
Record Wildebeest harvested on V Bharre in 2010
Wildebeest have become a popular exotic game animal in Texas. There is no season on Wildebeest so they may be hunted year round. The meat is lean and very tasty. On V Bharre Ranch we hunt only males. Our Wildebeest are typical bunched up together so choosing the biggest can sometimes be very difficult. Wildebeest typical like to stay out in open plains, grazing on grass. A spot and stalk has been a proven method for our previous guest. Why go to Africa – when V Bharre offers trophy quality animals right here in the heart of Texas.
