The wildebeest, also known as a gnu, is an antelope that lives on the grassy plains and open woodlands of africa. Their massive annual migration is considered one of the greatest wildlife spectacles on earth, involving up to 1.5 million wildebeests as well as hundreds of thousands of other animals, including zebra and gazelle. The wildebeest is certainly a unique-looking animal, and our wildebeest mask is no less unique.
