Look before you leap. Look before you leap

There’s no rest for the wildebeest, especially as it crosses the crocodile-infested Mara River between Kenya and Tanzania, shown here. Each year, as many as 1.5 million wildebeest move through this region, traveling some 1,300 kilometres total as they seek out lush, green grass and fresh water. August often finds the herd here in the Northern Serengeti Plains, a favorite destination for safari-goers who will also see some 200,000 zebras—as well as smaller numbers of gazelles and elands—that accompany the herd. The great number of animals makes this phenomenon one of the largest land migration on Earth, often called the ‘world cup of wildlife.’
