Detailed explanation-1: -Each year, more than one million wildebeest travel in a circular migration, following seasonal rains, across the Serengeti Plains. Their grazing and trampling of grass allows new grasses to grow, while their waste helps fertilize the soil.
Detailed explanation-2: -Would protecting the wildebeest help to protect the stability of the Serengeti ecosystem? Why or why not? It would likely protect the stability of the ecosystem, because of its outsized role in the ecosystem.
Detailed explanation-3: -Through grazing, wildebeest reduce the amount of vegetation that can act as fuel in a wildfire and make it possible for new, diverse plants to grow. This improves habitat quality for other species, including birds and butterflies, making wildebeest a keystone species. Movement is a fundamental aspect of animal ecology.
Detailed explanation-4: -Wildebeests stick together in a herd to protect themselves from wild predators, and the most vulnerable to predation when they are separated or alone.
