Massive wildebeest herd spotted near Ndutu!
This herd was spotted moving near Ndutu in Serengeti National Park. The great migration usually comes to the Ndutu area around late December and can stay here until April! They come to this region to give birth to their calves, as the grass in Ndutu is rich in nutrients for these growing wildebeest. The short grass in this region also allows adult wildebeest to spot predators easily.

Wildebeest calf has a drink of its mother’s milk near Ndutu!
This wildebeest calf and its mother were spotted near Ndutu. Most wildebeest calves will have to suckle on their mother for around four months, but they can also start eating grass in around 10 days. The calf usually stays around its mother until the next year’s newborn arrives. It is important for wildebeest calves to quickly build up their strength soon after birth so they can easily slot into the larger herd.
