The wildebeest, also known as the gnu, is a herbivorous mammal that is native to the grasslands and savannas of Africa. It is a large animal with a stocky body, long legs, and a large, boxy head. The wildebeest has a distinctive appearance with a shaggy mane, curved horns, and a rough, grayish-brown coat. It is known for its annual migration, where millions of wildebeest gather in massive herds and travel long distances in search of fresh grazing lands. This migration is one of the most spectacular wildlife events in the world, with wildebeest facing various challenges such as river crossings and predation from lions, crocodiles, and other predators. The wildebeest is an important prey species in African ecosystems and plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance of the ecosystem.

The idiom likely emerged from this metaphorical connection, reflecting the human desire to gain insight, uncover truths, or reveal hidden aspects.
