No cage, no boundaries, just freedom -Migration in Tanzania

Published 2024-04-13
Why do the wildebeest migrate? Simply put, the animals are following the rains to find fresh, lush grass. Each year, more than one million wildebeest travel in a circular migration. Their grazing and trampling of grass allows new grasses to grow, while their waste helps fertilize the soil.
Why do zebra and wildebeest migrate together? The herd of zebra joins the wildebeest migration as they are great at looking at any threat. The wildebeest have a good sense of hearing and smell that helps both to protect from predators and search for food. The zebra has great eyesight to see any threat.
During the migration around 250,000 wildebeest will die due to hunger, thirst, exhaustion, and predators. However, it is sad that many migrating animals will die. It is nature's way of ongoing survival of life on the Serengeti.
