The Great Wildebeest Migration

The video explores the annual migration of over a million wildebeest and half a million zebras in the Maasai Mara. This migration, covering over 3000 kilometers, coincides with the rainy season, leading to lush grasslands. Elephants also join, benefiting from the abundant resources. Predators like lions and crocodiles are drawn to the herds, but adult elephants remain unthreatened. The Maasai Mara, a protected national park, attracts tourists eager to witness this natural spectacle. Wildebeest display swarm intelligence during river crossings, enhancing their safety. The migration period is also a time for birthing, with herds organizing to protect the young and weak.
