Wildebeest are renowned for their epic African migrations, but their synchronized birthing season is equally astounding. Within just three weeks, over 500,000 calves are born, overwhelming predators and dramatically boosting survival rates.
Gestation lasts about 8.5 months, timed with the rainy season to ensure mothers access nutritious grasses and calves can quickly start grazing. Calves are born rapidly, able to stand and run within minutes—a critical adaptation for evading predators. The mass births also encourage calves to form nursery groups, or creches, enabling mothers to graze while the young benefit from safety in numbers. This collective parenting approach highlights the intricate social systems within wildebeest herds.
