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 ![]() Last edited by Swobu; 28-11-2006 at 15:17. |

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