Zebra Migration and Savanna Ecosystem

The video explores the mystery of a zebra herd that disappears annually in Botswana and Namibia. Despite modern tracking tools, the zebras' migration route remained unknown until research efforts led by Robin Naidu and Elephants Without Borders aimed to solve it. The video discusses zebra characteristics, the savanna ecosystem, and the importance of migration for survival. Zebras are social animals that migrate for better resources, showcasing their adaptability and role in the ecosystem.
