Gnus are African antelopes which inhabit the Serengeti Plains. Male gnus are no more than 52 inches in height and 500 pounds in weight, but have the most lethal horns of any of the antelopes. Bulls are very territorial and tend to remain alone. The females and young generally live in small herds. However, they may congregate in the tens of thousands during migration.
Gnus are the favorite prey of lions.
