This young wildebeest swam all the way across the Mara River without being eaten by crocodiles. It bleated for its mother when it reached the other side. Becoming confused, it swam back across the Mara River. It mixed in with the other wildebeest waiting to cross and we never saw it again. LIMG 1960
