Zebra and wildebeest are often found together on the plains of the Seregenti and the Maasai Mara. Why do they spend so much time together? It turns out that they have a symbiotic relationship. Zebras feed on the long tough grasses on the plains, while the wildebeests feed on the shorter grasses. In addition, zebras have a great memory which helps them recall safe migration routes, which comes in handy for directing the sometimes aimless wildebeests. Wildebeests, on the other hand, have a fantastic sense of smell and can detect water even in dry savannahs.
