Community Lens for Nov. 17

Bob Golub took this photo in 2017 of a mother leopard and her cub while in Tanzania. He said it was shot at site of wildebeest migration close to the Mara River. One of Earth’s most spectacular wildlife events takes place each year in the heart of eastern Africa, culminating at a river crossing where nature coldly decides who lives to see another season. Dubbed “The Great Migration,” 1.5 million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelle follow a circular migratory route throughout the Serengeti and Maasai Mara ecosystems, fraught with a series of river passages whose raging currents and predatory beasts lurking in the shallows make the endeavor more than just a simple swim.
