Wildebeest resting

  • Froglet1982 by Froglet1982

    Often when I see pictures that have wildebeest laying down they are surrounded by others stood up. Is it coincidence? Are the outside ones protecting the ones resting? Do they take it in turns? (sorry lots of questions!)

    I don't think they necessarily take turns or protect one another. It's just that some prefer to be on the ground while resting and others are resting standing up. Just like if you have a group of people hanging around, probably some of them prefer to sit and others stand.
