| Otherwise known as a wildebeest, gnus are generally graceful and quiet creatures, seemingly contrary to their name. |
| Every February, give or take a couple of weeks, more than a million wildebeest, or gnus, gather in the south-eastern quadrant of their quasi-circular migration route. |
| Add up all the lions, elephants, warthogs, giraffes, gazelles, zebras, impalas, topis and hyenas that live on these plains and they fail to outnumber the gnus. |
| White-tailed gnus today live fenced into farm pastures and trapped in mostly small provincial game reserves. |
| It was evident that they had been following the gnus, who had only at that instant begun to suspect their presence. |
| I only hoped that the gnus had led them a long chase, and that they were far away from me. |
