The impalla is seen along the railroad and in enormous numbers out along the Thika Thika and Tana Rivers. There are also many up in the Rift Valley and doubtless in other sections. From my own experience and observation they were most abundant on the Tana River. The wildebeest, or gnu, is found on the Athi Plains and northward along the Athi River and the Thika Thika.
Denis knocked over one of the dogs, and the rest, frightened by the report, turned tail and scampered off. The lads rushed forward, eager to obtain some of the flesh of the gnu. The animal was already dead, so they were saved the trouble of shooting it. They at once cut off some slices, while the two dogs, who had refused to remain with Gozo, ate a hearty meal.
With much regret they left poor Gozo, having strong doubts whether they should find him alive on their return. They set off slightly refreshed by their rest. They had not gone far when they caught sight of a single wildebeest, or gnu, scampering along at a great rate, and going almost in the direction they were pursuing. "Perhaps that animal is making its way towards water," observed Percy.
He soon learns to pick out the wildebeest, or gnu, by its American buffalo appearance; he comes to know the little Thompson's gazelle by its big black stripe on its white sides and by its frisky tail that is always flirting back and forth. The Grant's gazelle is a little harder to pick out at first, and one is likely to get the Grant's and Tommy's confused.
He wanted the gnu, and would be very pleased if the ratel would go away and leave it to him. The ratel, moreover, did not want the gnu, being an eater of honey, locusts, and generally badger-like fare for the most part; and if the lion had only had the sense to wait a few minutes longer behind the scenes, the ratel would have gone away and left the gnu.
Eden," she asked, pointing to a large, blue, cow-like creature, with goat's horns and a hump, "will you tell me what that animal is?" "I am not sure quite that I can," he replied with a slight laugh. "Its name is as outlandish as itself gnu, or yak, or perhaps Jamrach."
A hundred yards away a blotch of shadow beneath a group of stunted trees swayed and broke up into several zebra moving off to water. Fifty yards distant the inky shade that carpeted the earth under a bare outcrop of rock gave up a single gnu antelope bull and a Grant's gazelle whose lyrate horns were as wonderful as his consummate grace. Thereafter came sound.
And then looking straight and severely at me, he actually winked again. Then of course, I knew he was not responsible for his actions. Ah me, what things we are! Just as I was leaving the room with Mrs. Gnu, who had matronized me, Mr.
I was about to return for the remainder of the meat, to dry it in this way, when the rein came down. Notwithstanding the more substantial food Natty had now got, he was still too weak to walk any distance. The flesh of the gnu, with the honey and mushrooms, enabled us to subsist in tolerable plenty for a week.
"You'll then feel that you'd rather bring down a springboc, or gnu, or any other animal we may come across, than see the waggon moving ever so merrily along. I know what it is to be starving, and to feel that one's life depends on bringing down the game one is chasing. Come, move on! we will keep our eyes about us on the chance of finding something to shoot.
