Super Herd

Have you heard about the Super Herd in Kenya, Africa?

This is a group of 1.5 million Wildebeest (gnu) who travel together, chasing after the rains for rain ripened grass. Each wildebeest starts travelling together since it was born, and stop travelling till it dies. This group has no leaders. Any one of the Wildebeest could end up leading the group. Any wildebeest could leave the group any time (but they usually don't). As they travel, roughly in a clockwise fashion for 1,800 miles each year, they form characteristic long lines of running wildebeest. Even lions could not easily attact the group.

Life is a journey. It helps to have a large support group.
