A Gnu is a Wildebeest also called a Gnu, and are antelopes of the genus Connochaetes and native to Eastern and Southern Africa. They belong to the family Bovidae, which includes true antelopes, cattle, goats, sheep, and other even-toed horned ungulates. It can reach speeds of up to 80 km/h when running. the wildebeest population has grown from 250,000 alive in 1960, and 1.5 million as of 2020. The only reason that I can think Kenny mentioned The Gnu is that he was happy with the increase in it’s numbers!
