Who are the wildebeests enemies?
Wildebeests are large powerful animals and are not timid.It has few enemies but the two it fears are formidable foe. Wildebeests are nomadic and follow the rains and subsequent pasture over great distances in vast herds.When Lions are hungry they will stalk these herds using the prides best hunters,usually female.Being opportunists they wait for the right time.As soon as a straggler on the edge of the herd is in the right place the lions will quickly get between it and the herd and the chase is on.As soon as one lion gets a grip on the rear end or even the tail ,It's all over.

Why are antelope different from other prey?
Antelopes are herbivores, grass eaters, they need teeth to shear the grass, and to grind it up. Predators' teeth, carinvore (=meat eaters) teeth look quite different. Just look in the mouth of any cat or dog. It's the grabbing canines, and the shearing teeth. No grinders.
There is no such thing as a mammal bird. An animal is either a mammal or a bird, it cannot be both. Mammals have fur, give birth to live young and feed those young on milk. Birds have feathers and lay eggs. An impala is a type of deer, with fur and live young, so it's a mammal.
They are few and far between, I believe a predator would be stretched to find one. But if in the wild, in large enough numbers to be hunted by something besides paochers, I'd think lions, and other large cats, crocs., and hiena packs.
