A species of antelope native to Africa, known for its large herds and annual migrations.

Since wildebeest are herd animals, the word is often used together with terms for groups. The most common combination is 'eine Herde Gnus' (a herd of wildebeest).

Wildebeest are world-famous for their annual mass migration ('Great Migration') through the Serengeti in Tanzania and Kenya. This event is often referred to as 'die große Wanderung der Gnus' (the great migration of the wildebeest).
Die Wanderung der Gnus ist eines der größten Naturspektakel der Welt.
