Wildebeests (4)

I believe the answer is:

gnus

'wildebeests' is the definition.
('gnu' can be a synonym of 'wildebeest')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for gnus that I've seen before include "Wildebeests" , "African runners" , "Big game" , "Animals" , "Snug (anag) -- wildebeest" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, the King Feature Syndicate, the Sydney Morning Herald and the USA Today.
