Animals and Vegetation in East Africa - Serengeti Tanzania 2012 - A large herd of plains zebra and blue wildebeest graze on a vast, open grassland under a clear blue sky. The zebras display striking black-and-white stripes across their bodies, complemented by short, upright manes. The wildebeest appear darker and stockier, distinguished by curved horns and a shaggy beard. The animals are gathered closely, with the herd extending across the expansive plain. These grazing mammals primarily feed on grasses, forming groups for protection, particularly in open habitats. Mixed herds enhance vigilance, allowing for increased detection of potential dangers. These iconic animals are a vital part of the Serengeti ecosystem. Their coordinated movements and grazing patterns contribute to the health and balance of the grassland.
