Celebration of the Wildebeests

 




I can;t get enough of these wildebeests created by the 1st and 2nd graders this year.  Let's compare them to the real thing, shall we?





Also known as the gnu, the wildebeest is a member of the antelope family. They have a large, box-like head with curving horns. The front end of their body is heavily built, while the hindquarters are slender with spindly legs. They have a gray coat and a black mane as well as a beard that can be black or white.
