Survival in the wild at it's best
Monday, 20 April 2015
The wildebeest migration from the Serengeti National Park , Tanzania to Kenyan Maasai Mara National Park has become a very important tourism attraction in the two countries having been declared a wonder of the world. This is because the migration is a spectacular as millions of the wildebeest together with other grazers such as the zebras and antelopes travels over thousand kilometers from Serengeti National Park to Masaai Mara in Kenya and back again . The migration is timed to coincide with the rainy seasons as the wildebeest move in search of pasture and surface water. The journey is made more spectacular by the fact that it’s the ultimate convergence of both predators and the prey. The journey is the perfect illustration of the survival for the fittest. The predators like lions, hyenas, leopards and even crocodiles wait to make a kill literally during the migration especially at strategic places such as the river crossing sections.

Hippo's Natural Sun Burn Cream
Hippos have developed their own natural sunscreen, which oozes out of their pores in a shocking, bright red color.

Instead, it is made up of a number of highly acidic compounds that absorb ultraviolet light, preventing sunburn, and that inhibit the growth of bacteria. While we usually think of the blood sweat as bright red, it actually comes out clear, turns red and then fades to brown as it becomes exposed to the air.
