 Animals in Kenya     

  Fact file 1: Wildebeest are grass eaters and also drink plenty of water and thus require a regular supply

Fact file 2: The wildebeest are plentiful in many national parks in Kenya such as the Maasai mara and Nairobi national park. They are common prey for lions, but they are brave and sometimes chase off their enemy.

The Wildebeest

This is an ungainly looking creature that it is surprising to see them jumping with a fair amount of antelope grace. They are larger than and clumsier than impala and both male and females have horns shaped in a similar way as cow's. To make up for their rather unattractive appearance the wildebeest are sociable animals and like the company of other plains game such as zebras and ostriches.
