The blue wildebeest is known to hybridise with the black wildebeest. [13] The differences in social behaviour and habitats have historically prevented interspecific hybridisation, but it may occur when both species are confined within the same area, and the offspring are usually fertile.
In females, blue wildebeest have a shoulder height of 135 cm (53 in) and weigh 180 kg (400 lb) while black wildebeest females stand 108 cm (43 in) at the shoulder and weigh 155 kg (342 lb).

[6] The black wildebeest is currently included in the same genus as the blue wildebeest (Connochaetes taurinus). This has not always been the case, and at one time the latter was placed under a genus of its own, Gorgon. [7]
Wildebeest: 80.5 km/h (50.0 mph) [67] [f] The wildebeest, an antelope, exists as two species: the blue wildebeest and the black wildebeest. Both are extremely fast runners, which allows them to flee from predators. [36] They are better at maintaining endurance for long distances than at sprinting. [35]
The subfamily Alcelaphinae (or tribe Alcelaphini), [1] [2] of the family Bovidae, contains the wildebeest, tsessebe, topi, hartebeest, blesbok and bontebok, and several other related species. Depending on the classification, there are 6–10 species placed in four genera, although Beatragus is sometimes considered a subgenus of Damaliscus ...

The study specifically looked at moderate-to-vigorous exercise, but there is a difference between the two modes. It's hard to quantify, but here's a good rule of thumb: ...
