Feeding behaviour of blue wildebeest

24 April 2014

Are blue wildebeest always this active at night?

This video flash was taken early in the evening and shows a herd of blue wildebeest feeding on antelope pellets at the feeding site at Kudu waterhole. It is characteristic for blue wildebeest to feed at night in the winter when it is cool, but especially so on moonlit nights.
