                Gnus live in the 
                savanna of East Africa normally in a troop of 5 to 15. Occasionally 
                they have a great migration in a large herd of more than 1,000,000 
                all at once. They move over 1,600 kilometers a year. Recently 
                they have begun to run faster than before by leaps and bounds. 
                Some of the reasons are as follows: they want to reach next point 
                as fast as possible to obtain the edible weed, for its area is 
                getting smaller because of the climatic aberration and insufficient 
                area of the sanctuary, and they probably feel the necessity to 
                flee from the danger of the poachers and the contagious livestock 
                sickness.
