THIS ZEBRA CROSSING HAS CROCODILES INSTEAD OF TRAFFIC<br />WITH PIX AND VID<br />By Shuk Yee Tsang<br />Zebras were filmed making a tense river crossing through crocodile-infested waters during the peak of the Great Migration.<br />The footage was captured by Sohail Suleman, also known as Sully, a private safari guide and photographic specialist from the Maasai Mara, Kenya, where the video was filmed inside the Maasai Mara National Reserve, Kenya.<br />The zebras can be seen gathering at the riverbank, hesitating as they assess the danger before committing to the crossing.<br />River crossings are among the most dangerous moments of the migration, with predators and territorial hippos adding to the risk beneath the surface.<br />Sully said: “The zebras were deciding whether it was safe to cross. They needed to reach better grazing and rejoin larger herds, but the river always forces a pause.<br />“As a guide, you learn to read the small cues — who’s nervous, who’s testing the water, and who might lead.<br />“Once the first animal commits, everything changes in seconds. That uncertainty is what makes every crossing unique.<br />“The Mara River is one of the toughest obstacles the herds face. Watching them choose their moment is instinctive, risky, and completely unscripted.”<br />ENDS
