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.
