Pictured is a sideview of a blue wildebeest walking in the savannah in the Okavango Delta in Botswana, Africa. Major predators that feed on wildebeest include the lion, hyena, African wild dog, cheetah, leopard, and Nile crocodile. Wildebeest are very strong and can inflict considerable injury, even to a lion. Their primary defensive tactic is herding, where the young animals are protected by the older, larger ones, while the herd runs as a group. Wildebeest have a maximum running speed of around fifty miles per hour. The photograph was taken from a safari vehicle based at the Atzaro Okavango Camp. The binomial name is Connochaetes taurinus.
