Wildebeest – clown of the jungle!

During the first 5 years they grow their dominance in the group. After that they get kicked out of the herd and become lonely independents wandering around. Unlike cats they are not very playful in their young days, but gets much more playful when they are old and on their own. Thus the name: "clown of the jungle". Older wildebeest are even known to attack lions. David, our landlord for the stay even saw one single wildebeest attacking 3 lions in a group. Smart or loony... some wildlife experience!
