Spotted hyenas usually hunt wildebeest either singly, or in groups of two or three. They catch adult wildebeest usually after 5 km (3.1 mi) chases at speeds of up to 60 km/h (37 mi/h). Chases are usually initiated by one hyena and, with the exception of cows with calves, there is little active defence from the wildebeest herd.
In some areas, the blue wildebeest migrates over long distances in the winter, whereas the black wildebeest does not. [31] The milk of the black wildebeest contains a higher protein, lower fat, and lower lactose content than the milk of the blue wildebeest. [32] Wildebeest can live more than 40 years, though their average lifespan is around 20 ...
The eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults of certain insects have been eaten by humans from prehistoric times to the present day. [4] Around 3,000 ethnic groups practice entomophagy.

Global average human diet and protein composition and usage of crop-based products [11] (more statistics) Humans eat thousands of plant species; there may be as many as 75,000 edible species of angiosperms, of which perhaps 7,000 are often eaten. [12] Most human plant-based food calories come from maize, rice, and wheat. [13]
Herbivory is of extreme ecological importance and prevalence among insects.Perhaps one third (or 500,000) of all described species are herbivores. [4] Herbivorous insects are by far the most important animal pollinators, and constitute significant prey items for predatory animals, as well as acting as major parasites and predators of plants; parasitic species often induce the formation of galls.
