Wildebeest Write the missing words and learn about wildebeest.

Wildebeest live in _________. They are also called ________. They need to drink lots of _______ every day. A wildebeest is about two ________ long. Wildebeest are dark _______ in colour and have horns. They have black _________, tails and faces. They can live to _________ years of age. Their enemies are ________, cheetahs, hyenas and crocodiles.

Read about the wildebeest migration.

Wildebeest migrate when they feel the weather changing and realise that their supply of food and water will soon run out. Wildebeest spend most of the year in a huge grassy area called the Serengeti, in Africa. It gets lots of heavy rain from December to March. When the rain stops, the grass stops growing. The wildebeest must begin to move in May or June or they will starve. Over one million wildebeest migrate north each year to a game reserve called Masai Mara. Thousands of zebras migrate with them. Lake Victoria is in the Masai Mara and it gives the wildebeest the water they need. The journey can be very dangerous as the wildebeest have to cross lots of rivers, most of them filled with giant Nile crocodiles. They are usually back in the Serengeti in October, but the timing of their journey depends on the rain.
