And please dont tell me its wilderbeast, then my life is ruined!

(wilderbeast, the brown horse/cow hybrid that stampedes in the lionking... insanely cool looking)

Danke fur elise etc.

I'm not German, nor do I have any German language skills. In English it is in fact a Wildebeest, taking a mooch around some online translators...

Purely a guess based on the spelling of wildebeest it's probably a Boer or Dutch word originally since there were a lot of Dutch explorers in southern Africa I guess that's a possible. I could be totally wrong on that but beest isn't an Englist type of spelling.

Streifengnu is the Blue wildebeest
Weissbartgnu is the Black wildebeest

I can only assume those are seperate species since I make no claims to being an African antelope specialist

Gnu!

Hej zorrbald

Wildes Biest (Bestie, Tier)

Ich denke mal ist ne Antilope ?? Oder nen olles Gnu )

Achzizra · 28-11-2006, 18:47

Definately NOT antilope. Over here we call them "gnu". Antilopes are totally different animals
