Zebras and a wildebeest were crossing the river. You need "were" because you have a plural subject.

Without knowing the surrounding text there could be many possibilities
The Zebras...... the Zebras were first mentioned before your piece of text.
Some Zebras...... when it is not important or neccessary to know how many Zebras there are
As for the Wildebeest,
It is correct to say a Wildebeest as this is the first time the Wildebeest has been mentioned in the book.
Hope this helps
