Bookroo's summary

Wildebeests, also called gnus, live in big herds on the grasslands of Africa. Their name sounds fierce, but they mostly spend their days chomping on grass. Calves can run with the herd just minutes after they are born, and every year the herds travel hundreds of miles to find food and water during the hot, dry season. Photos and simple text show young readers the wild life of a wildebeest.

From the publisher

Despite their scary-sounding name, wildebeests are actually just interested in benignly chomping on grass! Sometimes called gnus, these African animals live in herds. They learn to run with the herd just minutes after being born and travel hundreds of miles each year to find food and water during hot, dry periods. Readers will take a look at the wild life of a wildebeest in its native habitat.
