MIRACULOUS ECOSYSTEM IN SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK

The Biologist Lynn Margulis and the British Chemist James E Love-lock believes that in the earth living and nonliving parts are viewed as complex interacting system that can be a sought of single organism. This is to show that living organism as well as nonliving depends on one another in various issues like feeding system. Animal life in Serengeti national park is a good evidence of the model proposed by Lnny and love lock which is called Gaia hypothesis since animals and human being in Serengeti are much depending with one another as follows.
The symbolic relationship exists between the zebra and wildebeast of the Serengeti. The clockwise direction of wildebeest and zebra across Mara river which starts from July to October where about 2 million animals reveals the relationship between zebra and wildebeest simply because wildebeest have no good remembrance memory that is why they are nicknamed zero brain so their migration depends on zebra which are able to remember the route likewise wildebeest having ability to detect thunder storm in a particular which is difficult for zebra to do so.
Bryna griffin in his article Serengeti wildebeest said that “the timing for count de-pends on the wildebeest themselves. They must be disbursed in a very specific way and zebra is always there to lead the route due to its memory capacity that wildebeest have not” Bryana said. Also the same migration between zebra and wildebeest their relationship is shown through feeding style. This is because wildebeest is not capable to eat the long grass hence depends on zebra to produce the short grass for them and that is why in the migration zebra always is frontlines.
One of the Serengeti national park tour guider called Novatus Dickson explained that “wildebeest are fussy eaters, they are selective grazers and only feed upon the shorter parts of the grass but luckily for them, zebras are bulk grazers they are not nearly as prickly over their grass choice. They act as lawnmower, cropping the grass and making it palatable for wildebeest to consume” Dickoson said.
Moreover, predators like lion and crocodile depends on the migration of wildebeest and zebra. The crocodile in river Mara is said to be the biggest crocodile in Africa and are expected to eatregularly. They can waitayear for their meatwhich they expectto eatfromtheanimalscrossing the river for their migration. Also, the lion and leopards are also de-pend on the weak migrant who failed to proceed with the journey because of their age and hardship situation they experience and finally isolated by youth group where predators get chance to capture them hence get food. Dickson said that the migration is not easy and normally called survive for fit-test only the strong survive. Meaning that all strong will finish the cycle but the weak won’t and predators are their time for get-ting food. He explained.
The relationship between hyena and Lions and hyena both are consumer of the same pray, they are each other’s most competitors simply because lions are four times larger than hyenas and hence can kill big animals that hyena cannot so hyena wait until lion kill the animal at least to cut carcass and that is how hyena eat. Article from Africa wildlife detective so called hyena facts said that “Hyena and predators except a lion from a kill ,lioness will give way if they are outnumbered four to one and cannot be displaced, male is present however if they are heavily outnumbered, even lions give away their food to them”.
All in all, the life cycle of animals in Serengeti national park depending much on the effort of human being to ensuretheenvironmentalconservation of thepark and security. When thetourist from outside the country and within Tanzania reach Serengeti national park are guided with various rules and regulations including restriction of disposing and form of wastes unwontedly places. Human being works day and night to ensure that the park is secured enough against poachers who can kill animals for their known purposes. However human being burns grass in the park to assure the production of fresh grass for food and shelter of the animals within the park.
Dickson said that “after burning grasses it is expected that during rain season the grasses will grow faster and assure food availability for the animals like antelope. The Serengeti is a vast ecosystem in east center Africa. It spans 12000 square miles (30000 square kilometers), according to NASA, giving rise to its name, which is driven from the Masai language and means endless plains. This region of Africa is located in north Tanzania and extents to south western Ken-ya. The Serengeti encompasses Serengeti national park and a number of protected games reserves and conservation areas maintained by the governments of Tanzania and Kenya. The region hosts the largest mammal migration in the world.
