Herd behavior benefits wildebeests primarily by decreasing the chance of spreading disease. Being in a herd can reduce individual exposure to predators and help maintain social structures that can contribute to overall health, but it is not directly associated with increasing resources or mate-finding. However, herd behavior can also contribute to increased vigilance against predators and more efficient foraging, which indirectly relates to resource availability.
