The wildebeest, also called gnu, is a large hooved (ungulate) mammal of the genus Connochaetes, which includes two species, both native to Africa: C. gnou, the "black" wildebeest, and C. taurinus, the "blue" wildebeest. The genus belongs to the family Bovidae, which includes antelopes, cattle, goats, and other even-toed horned ungulates.
