Wildebeests have structural characteristics just like every other animal. The head of a Wildebeest is large and box-like. Both males and females have curving horns that are close together at the base but curve outward, inward, and backward. The body looks like it is from a reaction as the front end is heavily built the hindquarters slender and the legs spindly. Those were some of the Wildebeests unique structural characteristics.
