Question

Fill in: waterways, pastures, plunge, crossing, banks, trek, migration, vegetation.​

Answer 1

During their migration, the Serengeti to the green pastures of the Maasai Mara, millions of wildebeest face a treacherous journey. The wildebeest need bravery, particularly to cross the waterways on this great annual trek. Not only are the rivers infested with crocodiles, but the animals must also conquer their fear of water. The crossing of the Mara River is the most famous challenge for these dedicated animals. The wildebeest wait for days on the banks of the river. They feed on the vegetation taking the plunge there before finally migrating into the river. The wildebeest which survive are then free to feed on the juicy grass of the Maasai Mara.
