In nature, everything is subject to unspoken laws: from year to year, animals, obeying instincts, make long journeys in search of food. Annually from May to September in the valley of the African river Mara, which flows between Kenya and Tanzania, you can observe an amazing phenomenon - Great animal migration … More than two million animals go to green pastures, overcoming many obstacles on their way. Wildebeests, zebras and gazelles are the real nomads of our time.
In search of food, animals travel from Serengeti Park in Tanzania to Kenya's Masai Mara Park. The main obstacle on their way is the Mara River, which herds of animals wade through. Of course, many of them die, becoming easy prey for lions, cheetahs, hyenas, wild dogs and jackals. During the migration, predators follow on the heels of herbivores. The crossing of the Mara is considered one of the most difficult and most dramatic episodes in animal migration, and many documentaries have been filmed about this.
Crossing the river, some animals are trampled, others drown. Another danger that lies in wait for them in the water is crocodiles, which also hunt defenseless "swimmers". About 1.5 million wildebeest and 300,000 zebras go in search of food and water every year, but 250,000 animals usually die along the way.
Amazingly, animals have been making this bloody path from time immemorial. Research shows that antelopes have been grazing in the Serengeti for over a million years. Perhaps, one can compare the migration of animals in Africa only with the spawning of salmon in Canada, a beautiful and at the same time tragic sight.
