The Serengeti Ecosystem

Wildebeests

The Serengeti Ecosystem.

The Serengeti ecosystem is a large and diverse region located in Tanzania and Kenya in Africa.

It is home to a wide variety of plant and animal life, and is known for its high biodiversity and large populations of large mammals such as lions, elephants, and zebras.

It is also home to the Serengeti National Park, which is a protected area that covers more than 14,000 square miles.

The Serengeti ecosystem is made up of several different habitats, including grasslands, savannas, woodlands, and swamps.

One of the most iconic features of the Serengeti ecosystem is the annual wildebeest migration, which is the largest mammal migration in the world.

Each year, more than 1.5 million wildebeest and zebras migrate across the Serengeti in search of fresh grass and water.

More on wildebeests.

Wildebeests are herbivorous and primarily graze on grasses, but they will also eat leaves, fruit, and other plant material.

There are two species of wildebeest: the blue wildebeest and the black wildebeest.

The blue wildebeest is more common and can be found in a variety of habitats, including grasslands, savannas, and woodlands.

The black wildebeest is smaller and less common, and is found primarily in grasslands and open woodlands. Both species are social animals and often live in large herds.

Wildebeests are native to Africa and can be found in several countries on the continent, including Angola, Botswana, Kenya, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.

They are most commonly found in savannas, grasslands, and open woodlands, but they are also found in other habitats such as marshes, bushland, and even semi-desert areas.

In East Africa, wildebeests are known for their large migrations, in which they move between different areas in search of food and water.

These migrations can involve hundreds of thousands of animals and are an important part of the ecosystem in East Africa.

One of the most famous wildebeest migrations takes place in the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem, which spans across parts of Tanzania and Kenya.

During this migration, wildebeests, along with zebras and gazelles, move in search of fresh grasses, following the rains as they move across the landscape.
