When being chased by a carnivore (meat eater), zebras work as a team to
confuse their predator. The herd of zebras will run in a zig-zag pattern
and thanks to the stripes on the zebras' bodies, many hunters get distracted.

In this picture you can see the giraffe's long tongue. While eating leaves
from acacia trees, giraffes carefully avoid the sharp spikes that protect
the tree. |

We saw many zebras and wildebeest as they migrated from the Serengeti
National Game Reserve to the Masai Mara. When it gets cold and wet in the
Serengeti the zebras and wildebeest know it is time to migrate (or move)
to a warmer, drier place for a while. I bet you have seen birds flying south
for the winter. That's what they are doing too. They're migrating. |

The first night we camped at Lake Nakuru, our campsite was home to a family
of about 20 baboons. They were very friendly and I still remember listening
to them in the trees above the tent as I fell asleep. This baboon has a
baby holding on to her belly. |
