Zambezi's rivers flow through six African countries, and it is a blessed place of life during both the rainy and dry seasons.
Let Professor Ke show you how the creatures on the banks of a long river fight for survival!
Scramble under the waterfall
When the Zambezi River flows under the waterfall, it creates a different world.
Although the near-vertical cliffs may seem dangerous, they are a great place to hide from predators, and the guinea-tailed baboons have the unique insight to choose to make their home here.
The fruit trees on the cliffs became the target of their scramble. The fruit trees in the good areas were occupied by large baboons, and other baboons had to find another way.
Professor Ke tips
The calcium in the fruit will make the bones of young baboons harder.
So even though the fruit picking road is difficult and difficult, the young baboon still chooses to risk death to pick the fruit.
The fate of baby wildebeest
Near the source of the Zambezi River, thousands of wildebeests raced to roost water and grass, obtaining abundant food.
What they don't know, however, is that African cheetahs have their eye on them. Although newborn baby wildebeest can master walking skills in a few minutes, they are still very slow.
Their birth can greatly improve the success rate of cheetah hunting.
Cheetahs can run at speeds of nearly 97 kilometers per hour, and the hunting targets they select are rarely able to escape.
An unexpected river crosser
Elephants, in order to ensure that they can eat about 270 kilograms of plants every day, venture across the raging Zambezi River to the lush islands.
Hungry elephants choose to swim against the current in the river, and they must safely land before being washed off a cliff.
The effort paid off, and the elephants were rewarded with the delicious rewards they deserved.
Elephants have food to eat, which is great news for dung beetles.
Because elephant dung is not only their food source, but also a place for them to raise their larvae.
The Zambezi River washes out different channels in its long-distance rush, selflessly feeding the wildlife along its shores. A river, a diverse world!
