The next day is to follow the elephant herd throughout the whole process, during which Xia Wencai also rode an elephant and walked for a while, envying others, this is not those well-trained elephants, wild feeding, wild elephants are very short-tempered.

The next day, Xia Wencai mixed in with the hyena group for a day, so that everyone's view of hyenas changed a lot, although they look a little funny, small heads, big bellies, running staggering, barking is also a bit funny, or famous robbers and thieves, but their unity is also quite admirable, a bit of a party is in trouble and all sides support.

And hyenas love their children no less than other animals, sometimes hyena mothers will walk through the territory of male lions alone in order to find food for their children, which is a very dangerous behavior, once they encounter male lions, the probability of death is very high.

On the way, they finally found a leopard on the bank of a river, hiding in the vegetation and almost blending in with its surroundings, which they would not have noticed unless they had moved a little as they prepared to hunt.

It was only when it approached a drinking oryx only a few meters away that it attacked, and the antelope spotted it and began to run, but it was apparently too late and was caught before it had run a few steps.

After that, we saw the leopard dragging this prey of at least more than 100 catties, easily climbed to a big tree, and then began to enjoy the food slowly, the leopard may be the safest way to eat in Africa, after all, large predators can be as skilled as it is very few, and those who can go up the tree are not its opponents.

After spending almost a week on the grassland, everyone was almost done shooting, and it can be said that the predetermined goal had been completed in the first two days, and now they are waiting, just waiting for the news of the panting ranger in front of them now.

"We just received the news that they are already gathering by the Mara River two kilometers ahead!" The ranger spoke.

Bell and the others' eyes lit up after hearing this, and they immediately ordered everyone to get in the car and set off, heading towards the Mara River.

Ten minutes later, the convoy stopped on the bank of the Mara River, and almost everyone took out their cameras and mobile phones and other equipment to start shooting, because the scene in front of them was too spectacular, and it was not enough to describe it with ten thousand horses galloping, yes, the wildebeest army was ready to cross the river, and they had been waiting for this scene.

The wildebeest herd is so large that it doesn't take long for them to eat up the aquatic weeds in a pasture, and then they move to leave room for the current pasture to grow, and thus circulate indefinitely on the grassland, and when they move, they must cross the river because they are blocked by the Mara River that runs through the grassland.

"It's spectacular, how many wildebeest does Bell have here now?" Lin Xiaowan looked at the dense wildebeest by the river, raised a large cloud of dust, and asked in surprise.

"Where can I count it now, there may be one or two hundred thousand, but this is only the vanguard, and the millions of wildebeest here will cross the river in unison." After Bell finished speaking, he also looked at the wildebeest that could not be seen and sighed.

"What are they doing, so many are blocked by the river, why can't they get over?" After waiting for a while, I saw that the wildebeest was gathering more and more, but it didn't go into the water, so I asked very suspiciously.

Bell pointed to the back of the crocodile that occasionally appeared in the water and said: "Of course they are afraid of these big guys in the water, and when they are almost assembled, they will be led into the water by the strong ones, if they cross the river alone, they will definitely die, and they will be safer to enter the water together after they gather more like this."

"What's going on with those? Could it be that this crossing the river still has to talk about identity, and the boss is not allowed to cross the river first? Xia Wencai suddenly pointed to a small group of wildebeest on the opposite bank of the river and asked, because it seemed that the group of wildebeest wanted to cross the river, but was driven back by several strong wildebeests.

Bell observed for a moment, shook his head, and said, "It's not for this reason, have you noticed that it is a shallow beach, and the river is relatively shallow, so the old people in the tribe do not allow these wildebeest to cross the river from here."

Lin Xiaowan next to her was surprised when she heard it, and asked: "This group of little wildebeest is very smart, it's easier to cross the river from a shallow place, why don't you let them pass here, other wildebeest can also pass here, those wildebeest next to them don't know how to come, and they drive people away, are they stupid?"

As soon as Lin Xiaowan's voice fell, before Bell answered, a ranger next to him spoke: "No, they are not stupid, but too smart, this section of the river is easier to cross, but they rarely encounter such shallows, so experienced wildebeest will stop these young wildebeest from slippery, to make them accustomed to crossing the river in deep water, because after the old wildebeest dies, these young wildebeest will be the main force leading the group, if they have no experience in crossing the river, it will bring a crisis to the group in the future, Therefore, they have to get the young wildebeest used to the normal river crossing procedure. ”

Lin Xiaowan and Xia Wencai both opened their mouths dumbly after hearing this, they didn't expect it to be such a reason, no wonder the adult wildebeest group next to them turned a blind eye to the easier shallows, it turned out to be to impart experience to the younger members, although the price they paid may be their lives, but the behavior that is conducive to the reproduction of the group is worth it in their eyes.

As the wildebeest gathers more and more, many predators are attracted to it, but they don't dare to touch the wildebeest army now, otherwise they can trample on them with one foot and one foot, and now they can only lie in the distance and watch, quietly waiting for the opportunity.

After about half an hour, the riverbank was already noisy, and the endless wildebeest herd had completely occupied the riverbank, and the black oppression was all waiting for the time to cross the river.

"Look, there's a leader!" As soon as Lin Xiaowan finished speaking, Luo saw a wildebeest on the opposite side jump directly from the high bank into the turbulent river.

As soon as the wildebeest moved, the other wildebeest poured into the water one after another, and soon formed an endless army of river crossers, and the crocodiles that had been waiting for a long time dived down like submarines and completely disappeared into the dim water.

"They have a relatively high safety distance to cross the river in a group, which not only prevents their bodies from being washed away by the rushing river, but also reduces their chances of being attacked by crocodiles." Bell said, looking at the mighty army.

Although the crocodile dominates in the water, when the hippopotamus army crosses the river, they generally do not dare to skip the front, if they run to the route of the wildebeest crossing the river, they will be trampled on the route of the wildebeest to cross the river, they will only wait for opportunities on the side, and there are quite a lot of opportunities.

Lin Xiaowan and the others found that many wildebeest disappeared directly from the water after a while, these are relatively weak, they can't resist the impact of the current, and they are washed out of the group by the river, and the crocodiles waiting for the opportunity next to them will certainly not let go of such a delicious meal, as long as they are washed away by the river, they will be dragged directly into the river and drowned, and then share the food.

Xia Wencai also saw it with emotion, these wildebeest are really not easy, not only to resist the impact of the river, but also to be careful of the crocodiles eyeing the next to them, all they can do is to desperately slide their limbs, and strive to reach the opposite bank as quickly as possible.

The biggest loss is the old and young, sick and disabled, especially the small wildebeest, they are not good at the body, they will be tired in such a rapid, and the size is too small, although most of them are mixed in the middle of the wildebeest, but they will still be swept away by the current from time to time, either fall into the mouth of the crocodile, or be washed downstream and disappear without a trace, the army across the river is spectacular and tragic!
