(Gorgon taurinus) |
|
The blue wildebeest is slate blue in colour with faint transverse bands of darker colour on the neck and forequarters. The body is slender, with light hindquarters and a disproportionately heavy head. The neck carries a rough horse-like mane and also a heavy fringe of hair along the dewlap. The shoulders are distinctly humped, with a height of about four feet (+-120 cm). Both male and female carry horns, somewhat resembling those of the buffalo but much smaller and lighter. In spite of its rather clumsy appearance it is one of the fastest veld animals when in flight, with great endurance and tenacity of life.
