Spirit Animal – A Gnu Day!

image

Although smaller in size, many people think that the Wildebeest or Gnu, is very much like the buffalo that roamed the plains of North America.  The black face, curved horns, and hump on the back are certainly similar. Where as the buffalo has a short tail, more like a cow’s tail, the Gnu has a long tail much like a horse’s tail.  A male Gnu stands almost six feet at the shoulder, and the female is slightly shorter at about five and half feet at the shoulder. 

The Gnu is a herd animal – for protection, and for comfort – although the older bulls will roam alone, and eat alone.  They are about 500 to 600 pounds or over half a ton, so can hold their own with most animals.  The Gnu’s preferred food is short tender or dry grass. This means that they can reside and graze with long grass grazers like zebra and gazelle/antelope type animals. 

Gnu has this to say today - “Do you know what is creeping up around you?  Are you using other people – friends and family – to give you early warnings of problems?   We follow a very strict diet and limit ourselves to one type of food.  Our weight and health is stable.  Can you say the same thing?  What are you eating that is unhealthy?  Our first reaction to any threat is to run.  This saves our lives.  Do you know how to retreat?  You can look later. 

We Gnus know how to spread information around the herd in silent ways.  Watch how a herd will suddenly stop and wheel about.  This confuses those pursuing it, and will allow Gnu to turn the tables.  Do you need to do an about face to startle someone who takes you for granted?  Do you need to confront someone who has been chasing you, or has power over you?  We Gnus have the power to assist you in making changes.  Ask us in to help you!”

Namaste,
