Wildebeest portrait Naiba means "Not liked" in the Maa language. Naiba was the only wildebeest we collared so far who did not like her collar right away. She tossed her head for a minute or two, until she got used to it. Naiba was unusual in another way. Although the veterinarians judged her to be of only middle-age, her teeth were worn down like an old wildebeest. The veterinarians believed that she had some mineral deficiencies.
