Copied verbatim from a sign at the San Diego Zoo...


	Brindled Wildebeest or Gnu

	Connochaetes taurinus taurinus

	An African folk story says the wildebeest was
	created last, from leftover parts of other animals.
	Today we'd say it looks like it was put together by
	a committee.  When bothered, gnus even act like a
	committee.  They seem to run in all directions at
	once, thrashing their heads and tails wildly.

	Range:      Southern Tanzania to South Africa
	Habitat:    Grasslands and open woodlands
	Wild Diet:  Grass, leaves, herbs
	Zoo Diet:   Alfalfa pellets, hay, leaves
	Status:     Stable; this subspecies is rare in zoos
