Wildebeests migrate on the African grasslands every year. Aren't they afraid of crocodiles?
Among many migration behaviors, the most famous is the wildebeest migration in the East African prairie. The East African Prairie is owned by two countries: Kenya and Tanzania. Therefore, there are two national parks. Kenya is Masai Mara and Tanzania is Serengeti. The area of Serengeti is 10 times that of Masai Mara. The wildebeests on the East African prairie move clockwise all year round. Whenever the grass in one place is almost eaten, they will move to other places. Every month, the position of wildebeest is almost certain. An experienced guide will take you to the place where you can easily see the wildebeest army. In fact, in addition to wildebeests, there are zebras and nutrients in the migration army, but not all nutrients can migrate, mainly gazelles, and sometimes antelopes can be seen. Most antelopes do not migrate. It won't go as far as wildebeest, and the momentum won't be too great. Only 1 200 can be aggregated at most.

The road to heaven as we know it takes place in July and August. This is the summer vacation in China, and many parents will take their children to Masai Mara to watch this "once a year" activity. It turns out that wildebeest passed a river called Mara River on its way from south to north, where many hippos and crocodiles lurk all the year round. This is the best time for them to have a full meal within a year. Despite the danger, the horse has to cross the river to reach the other side. This is a life-and-death struggle. Hippo crocodile, lion cheetah, nature is really cruel. Crocodiles sometimes cry when they see wildebeests or antelopes thrown directly to the ground by cheetahs. Faced with such rich food this season, the lion cheetah at the top of the food chain naturally has no worries about eating and drinking. In fact, they live a good life.

In most cases, they lie lazily in the grass, and hunting is only an occasional fitness activity. Migrating wildebeests get up early, usually in neat lines and move slowly. The team can't see the head or the tail. Everyone pays great attention to discipline, and at the same time stays by each other's side, not chasing or making trouble, so that the Buddha does not want to destroy the tranquility of the grassland in the morning. Rows of red clouds in the sky gradually turned yellow, the sun just hit the poached eggs in the sky, the black trees gradually showed a clear outline, and the wildebeest gradually accelerated its pace.

The time for wildebeest to cross the river is uncertain. Some tourists can meet each other when they come, and some people wait by the river for two or three days without seeing them. When we get to the river, the cavalry marching in a straight line will become a phalanx. They are still disciplined and as serious as the troops about to go to war. In fact, this is much easier than going to the battlefield. This is a matter of life and death for the country. It is said that a wildebeest may lose the crocodile's mouth at any time when crossing the river.
