The White Tailed Gnu

One of the animals we see quite regularly is the white tailed gnu. They hang around in small herds on open ground - often close to zebra or antelope - and are a species of wildebeest, although one that does not make mass migrations as their more well known cousins do. The story of the origin of this animal is this: after God had spent six days making the heaven and earth and all that was in it, and just as he was about to have his day of rest, he found he had lots of bits left over from when he made the animals. Not wishing to waste them he put them together to create the white tailed gnu, the last animal he created and definitely one of the weirdest looking on four legs. At least this is the story our ranger told us.....
