Summary:

"Every year the rich grasslands of the Serengeti Plain dry up, spurring more than a million wildebeests and their young to journey up to 1,750 miles across two countries in pursuit of food and water. For over 20 years, this passage -- one that shapes the region's ecosystem -- has been tracked by GPS, providing a close-up look at the risks and rewards of one of the last remaining large-mammal migrations on Earth."
