Massive wildebeest herd on the move near Moru!

A large herd of wildebeest was spotted moving through the Moru region of Serengeti National Park. Rain plays a huge role in wildebeest movement patterns, as heavy rainfall promises lush vegetation. The wildebeest herd, therefore, depends on consistent rain in the Serengeti and Mara to complete its migration journey.

Baby zebra steals the spotlight from wildebeest herd spotted in Moru

Watch how this baby zebra steals the spotlight from the wildebeest herd while they graze in the background. Wildebeest and zebra herds often travel together, as wildebeest have a great sense of hearing, and zebras have amazing eyesight, which makes them strong allies as they face many predators on their journeys. These zebras and wildebeest were sighted in Moru, near the Kopjes in Serengeti National Park.
