Answer:

Wildebeests live in great numbers on East Africa's vast plains, where dramatic wet and dry seasons cause a bounty of grass at sometimes, and a dearth of good grazing at others. To survive, the wildebeest must migrate to find food.

Step-by-step explanation:

The wildebeest migrate around the Serengeti, and into the Masai Mara for the sole purpose of following the rainfall. For their calving from December - March they always begin their cycle in the Southern Serengeti area of Ndutu and follow wherever the grass is green. Wildebeest migrate on a loop path through Tanzania and Kenya following the seasonal rains even when that involves passing through dangerous territory. This is a modal window. Wildebeest, also called gnus, are members of the antelope family.
