One fine day in the month of June, a wildebeest herd crosses the Mara river in the Masai Mara National Park in Kenya. Millions follow it. This marks the beginning of the annual migration, often referred to in this place as the eighth wonder of the world. A recent phenomenon, the migration involves the moving of millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles in herds from the Serengeti National Park, Tanzania to the Mara, and vice versa. The abundant game and especially the calves provide ample opportunity for the predators to have a feast.
