Wildebeest (Golden)

An exotic gene mutation of the black and Blue Wildebeest, the Golden Wildebeest,  or golden gnu as it was named by the Khoi (Hottentot) is a beautiful animal and highly sought after by hunters from around the world. A distinguishing feature is the tail, which is long and similar to that of a horse. Stalking a herd with thousands of eyes and ears is a challenge, and so is shooting. Wildebeest’s hump on the shoulder makes unaccustomed hunters miss high. They are notoriously difficult to bring down.
