Africa: The Serengeti

00:00:01 Africa : The Serengheti

00:01:56 a sea of ash settled across the serengeti

00:02:48 ungainly in appearance

00:04:36 herbivores eat plants

00:07:29 through the plenty of the wet season

00:08:20 the epic journey takes place wityhin

00:09:18 in a few frantic weeks 90% of the cows are mpregnated

00:11:35 there is neither malice nor remorse of the serengeti

00:12:57 vervet monkeys find in trees both sustenance and safety

00:14:31 despite risk of attack under cover of darkness

00:16:25 the herd will push on even when confronted by a lion

00:17:37 until the life giving rains return on the winds of october

00:18:59 an object of amusement to some

00:20:12 zebras cluster together in a tangle of stripes

00:22:17 though the job of protecting

00:24:43 these lands are also the cradle of humanity

00:26:26 the maasai believe that heaven gave them

00:27:17 and families with spears

00:29:02 indispensable to the survival

00:30:04 the herds are multiplying rapidly

00:31:31 in these waters. It is still

00:34:12 but the migration moves on

00:34:52 of a new generation

00:37:04 and the great herds still run free
