Zebra cross the Mara River during the great migration – Tanzania, 2019

Zebra cross the Mara River during the great migration. Around 250,000 Zebra join more than 1 million Wildebeest during the great migration. They need to cross the dangerous Mara River to reach their goal of fresh pasture running the gauntlet of many large crocodiles that lie in wait (see https://wildlifeaction.co.uk/trips/crocodiles-kill-wildebeest-in-the-mara-river/). Whilst the Wildebeest cross in what seems to be a state of panic, the Zebra appear more relaxed and take a more measured approach to the crossing. Nevertheless, Zebra do fall prey to the crocodiles. Here one can see several Zebra with foals successfully making the crossing.
