As of today, in season, building toward peak (~July 1). Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.
Each year tens of thousands of plains zebras move across the Makgadikgadi and Nxai Pan system in Botswana, tracking seasonal rains and water.
The migrations concentrate animals onto perennial water sources such as the Boteti River and create predictable feeding and river-crossing opportunities for predators and viewers.
