Recognizable by its stocky silhouette and distinctive beard, the wildebeest is one of the most iconic herbivores of the African savannah. Its curved horns and dark, streaked coat give it a unique appearance, often seen in large herds.
Every year, thousands of wildebeest participate in one of the world's most spectacular animal migrations, crossing rivers and plains in search of greener pastures. Surprisingly, despite their heavyset appearance, wildebeest are excellent runners, capable of reaching speeds of over 80 km/h to escape predators. They are sociable and often coexist with zebras and other herbivores, who benefit from the protection offered by the herd.
This Papo figurine faithfully reproduces the wildebeest: robust horns, detailed fur and realistic posture. An ideal model to enrich a collection of wild animals, invent exciting stories in the heart of the savannah or to educate children about the great natural spectacles of African wildlife.
