Wildebeest cross the Mara river in the Masai Mara game reserve in Kenya. Only months after their annual migration south to Tanzania’s Serengeti national park, thousands of wildebeest have been spotted back in the Masai Mara, a rare occurrence which wildlife officials say may be the result of drought and insufficient pastureland in Tanzania

Help Mom!!
This baby Elephant kept loosing his footing as he tries to reach his mother. Upon realising he couldn’t climb the steep embankment, he cried out for his mom who then helped him up the slippery slope.
