On a recent safari to the Serengeti plains, we witnessed a wildebeest birth! the mother wondered off to graze soon after, leaving the calf to wonder off in the wrong direction. The newborn soon confused a tree for its mother, trying even to 'suckle' the tree!......luckily, it then took our car as its mother and followed us back to the herd....soon reunited, this one had a happy ending......(www.wildlandsafaris.com)
