The Birthing Grounds
Each February massed herds of wildebeest gather on the mineral rich grasslands of the Serengeti to give birth.
The two-week window of the mass birthing creates rich opportunities for predators.
New-born Calf
A new-born wildebeest calf stands on wobbly legs minutes after birth.
Its survival will depend on being a quick learner to walk and run. Lost calves are quickly dispatched by predators following the herd.

Vulture Line Up
It was early morning and lions had taken down a wildebeest. These vultures were waiting for the lions to depart before approaching the carcass. The birds with black bills are African white-backed vultures and the ones with the yellow bills are Ruppell's griffon vultures
