Blue Wildebeest (Connochaetes taurinus) crossing the Mara River

---

Blue Wildebeest (Connochaetes taurinus) crossing the Mara River. This is part of the annual migration. Although it is assumed that this migration is a frenzy and that the wildebeest cross blindly, recent research has shown that a herd of wildebeest possesses what is known as a "swarm intelligence", whereby the animals explore and overcome the obstacle as one. Masai Mara National Reserve. Kenya
