An adult wildebeest, or gnu, stands in an arid outdoor environment in Mti Mmoja, Tanzania. The animal is captured in a close-up, frontal to slightly angled view, primarily showing its head, neck, and upper body. It has dark brown to black fur, prominent greyish-brown horns that curve outwards and upwards, and visible ears with lighter, fawn-colored fur inside. A dark, shaggy mane runs along its neck, and a distinct yellowish-brown beard-like tuft hangs below its jaw. Its muzzle is dark. The background consists of dry, light brown, uneven ground with sparse, blurry green vegetation visible in the distance. No people or other animals are present. The scene is illuminated by natural daylight.
