The Maasai Mara in Kenya is home to a diverse array of wildlife and is famous for the annual wildebeest migration from the Serengeti. During the dry season, wildebeest migrate to the Maasai Mara in search of fresh pastures. A major obstacle is crossing the Mara River, which is full of crocodiles. The Mara River is a critical water source for the region’s wildlife. Its banks attract many animals, but crocodiles lurk in wait to ambush prey. The river crossings create dramatic scenes of life and death. Zebras, wildebeest and other herbivores risk becoming prey to the crocodiles and lions that inhabit the area.
