Two zebras fighting to reach the other side of the Mara river

The zebras, caught in the middle of the river, are forced to swim with all their might, their heads barely above water. This crossing is a perilous undertaking, as the Mara River is known to harbor Nile crocodiles, masters of ambush who lie in wait for vulnerable prey. The zebras’ desperate fight for survival highlights the dangers faced by wildlife during the Great Migration, where the promise of greener pastures on the other side comes at a high cost.
