Savanna Scavengers: Why the Serengeti Needs Them | Part 1 | SLICE EARTH
This excerpt follows the scavengers of the Serengeti as they endure the dry season and wait for the great herds to return. Vultures, spotted hyenas, jackals, lions, and crocodiles depend on the few carcasses available, revealing why these animals are essential to the balance of the savanna.
From the natural mortality of wildebeest to the first river crossing of the season, this chapter shows how closely scavengers are tied to migration. But when the crossing claims few victims, the wait for the next opportunity begins again.
