WORLD'S LARGEST EXODUS; THE ANNUAL WILDEBEEST MIGRATION


The rains are approaching, animals are starting to shift, the pride are now settling towards the Mara River Bank and the African Tropical air is getting tensed both with anxiety and fear you can even smell blood in the air.
This is one epic, magical, marvelous and indescribable  battle of the ages between top ranking African beasts that you can afford to miss. The Great Migration is the largest overland migration in the world. The animals travel a total of 800km or more during each cycle.gallery


In the green corner, traveling in millions and full of determination  and optimistic are the mighty wildebeests accompanied by their long time comrades the zebras and the galloping antelopes. Many calves get separated from their mothers when the herds panic (which happens frequently) or cross rivers or lakes in their path. Think they got a chance this year?

In the Red corner packed with pounds of muscles, bone and claws are the lions also accompanied by the "African Sahara flash"-the cheetahs and Africa's stealth killer the mysterious leopard and not forgetting the Africa's top scavengers the sneaky hyena and the ravenous vultures. All impatiently waiting for the heard to cross the Mara River.

Standing tall  on the blue corner are the world's top surviving creatures, with meat crunching jaws and teeth and packed with a tonne of equipped hunting skills are the undisputed crocodiles. Their hunting ground is the  water and this is where they come in the great wildebeest migration.
The crocodiles awaiting the herds in the Mara River drown their prey by clutching them in their strong jaws and pulling them below the water, twisting them to break off bite-size pieces. A crocodile can lunge more than half of its body length out of the water to grab a potential victim and can also use its tail as a secondary weapon.
There is no any other shortcut the wildebeests can use apart from crossing the Mara river. It is either do or die trying.
