Noisy migrants
Wilderbeests are quite vocal animals, constantly making low grunting sounds. If they get scared or disturbed, they emit a sudden snorting noise, which acts as an alarm call.
In nature, 80-90% of the females calve within 2-3 weeks, typically just before the rainy season, when there is an abundance of food that stimulates milk production.
Hvert år migrerer 2 millioner gnuer for at følge græsset. Denne spektakulære begivenhed kaldes "Den Store Migration". De krydser floder med krokodiller og tilbagelægger 1600 km fyldt med rovdyr.
Knuthenborg's gnu herd currently consists of cows and heifers, that is females.
Do not get out of the car on Savannen.
