Hartebeest rare??

  • Bonnie123 by Bonnie123

    While I see lots of Wildebeest and quite a few Zebra's, Hartebeest seem to be fairly rare. Are there only a few of them there or do they just hang out somewhere not by the camera's??

    There are a lot of hartebeest in the Serengeti, but in comparison to both the zebra and wildebeest their numbers are fewer. Over the course of classifying a season you will see plenty of hartebeest, they also have a favourite habit of hanging about in very close proximity to the cameras.
    If you search for hartebeest you will see lots of them, just over 1000 and counting 😃
