Jan had correctly given many of the characteristic points of that, perhaps, the most singular of all ruminant animals, the wildebeest or gnoo (Catoblepas gnoo).

Around every frontier farm-house large piles ofgnoo and springbok horns may be seen--the remains of animals that have been captured in the chase.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "gnoo" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
