- Blue_wildebeest abstract "The blue wildebeest (Connochaetes taurinus), also called the common wildebeest, white-bearded wildebeest or brindled gnu, is a large antelope and one of the two species of wildebeest. It is placed in the genus Connochaetes and family Bovidae. It was first described by William John Burchell in 1823. It has a close taxonomic relationship with the black wildebeest. The blue wildebeest is known to have five subspecies. The blue wildebeest is typically between 170–240 cm (67–94 in) in head-and-body length. The average height is 115–145 cm (45–57 in). While males weigh up to 290 kg (640 lb), females weigh up to 260 kg (570 lb). This broad-shouldered antelope has a muscular, front-heavy appearance, with a distinctive robust muzzle. Young blue wildebeest are born tawny brown, and begin to take on their adult colouration at the age of two months. The adults' hues range from a deep slate or bluish gray to light gray or even grayish-brown. Both sexes possess a pair of large horns which are shaped like parentheses. These extend outward to the side, and then curve upward and inward. In the males, the horns can be 83 cm (33 in) long, while the horns of the females are 30–40 cm (12–16 in) long.The blue wildebeest is a herbivore, feeding primarily on the short grasses which commonly grow on light, alkaline soils that are found in savanna grasslands and on plains. The blue wildebeest feeds both during the day and night, and its broad mouth is adapted for eating large quantities of short grass. Water is an essential requirement. The blue wildebeest is most active during the morning and late afternoon, and spends the hot hours of the day resting. The wildebeest form herds when sedentary and move about in loose aggregations. They are fast runners and extremely wary. The mating season begins with the end of the rainy season, leading to favourable conditions for breeding. A single calf is usually born after a gestational period of about eight and a half months. The calf remains with its mother till eight months, after which it joins juvenile herds. Blue wildebeest are found in short grass plains bordering bush-covered acacia savannas in southern and eastern Africa, thriving in areas that are neither too wet nor too arid. Blue wildebeest can tolerate arid regions as long as a potable water supply is available, normally within about 15–25 km (9.3–15.5 mi) distance. Each year, some East African populations of blue wildebeest take part in a long-distance migration, seemingly timed to coincide with the annual pattern of rainfall and grass growth.The blue wildebeest is native to Angola, Botswana, Kenya, Mozambique, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Today it is extinct in Malawi, but has been successfully reintroduced in Namibia. The southern limit of the blue wildebeest stops at the Orange River, while the western limit is bounded by Lake Victoria and Mt Kenya. The blue wildebeest is widespread and is being introduced into private game farms, reserves and conservancies. Therefore, the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) rates the blue wildebeest as of Least Concern. Their population has been estimated to be around 1,550,000, and the population trend is stable.".
