19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
The Migration
This photo shows a herd of wildebeests on the move in northern Serengeti National Park (Tanzania). The wildebeests were staging in incredible numbers above the Mara River, waiting for the first brave animal to plunge in. At that point, chaos erupts, as the entire herd will follow suit to get from one side to the other, if they're lucky enough to avoid injury or predators.
