It has been brought to my attention that a gnu is a wildebeest, a type of African antelope. A gnu is not a large flightless bird related to the ostrich or emu, as I have apparently believed for quite a few years. I apologize for any confusion this may have caused, and resolve to do my best to enhance species awareness throughout the Chicagoland area. Use them or lose them, folks.
