Wildebeest crossing the Mara River

A herd of wildebeest makes a run to the mighty Mara River. To cross the river, the wildebeest mass together in a very small space, almost touching each other. The sounds of the migration – the honking and grunting of the wildebeest –are the loudest. It is an organized but noisy migration of animals.
