Red Hartebeest at rest in Addo Elephant NP These are very strange looking antelopes. The name in German means "cow antelope" which is rather odd, since the Gnu or Wildebeest looks much more cow-like.

    What enormous head it has! I find Wildebeest equally strange looking when you focus on their weird head:

    The Great Migration in Great Detail - 3 When seeing many Wildebeests, as one usually does, they come across as common grazers. Only when viewing them up close you may notice that they actually look kind of freaky. This one in front comes across to me as an evil villain.
