Wildebeest
Blue Wildebeest is the most plentiful big-game species in East Africa. They often graze in mixed herds with Zebra, giving both heightened awareness of predators. The spotted hyena is one of the main predator threats for the Wildebeest. Wildebeest migrate on a loop path through Tanzania and Kenya following the seasonal rains, even when that involves passing through dangerous territory, the migration route crosses many rivers filled with giant Nile Crocodiles. More than 1.5 million Wildebeest migrate each year - usually in May or June. This migration is now regarded as one of the “Seven Wonders of the World.” Estimates suggest that over 250,000 of these animals die during migration.
