Every February, before
they begin a grueling
trek north, wildebeests—
along with the many
zebras that travel with
the herd—gather to
graze and calve on the
short-grass plains near
the southern border of
Serengeti National Park
in Tanzania. Half a million
young wildebeests are
born here each year, an
average of 24,000 a day.
Calves can walk within
minutes of birth.
