Calving usually takes place between January and February of each year. In January the herds begin making their way to the south of the Serengeti after the rains start falling, people say that they can smell the rain, others believe they can sense when the pressure in the air changes. The only thing we know for sure is that where it rains, the herds follow. Within a two to three week time period, over half a million wildebeest are born with as many as 8 000 wildebeest being born on the same day!
