With the wildebeest migration spectacle coming around, this brings to mind as to what is the motivation for such a migration. Scientists have taken the liberty of answering this question by telling us about instincts. This has been a longstanding interest to human beings. In most cases the chief function of migration is to provide a suitable place for feeding or reproduction. What is most interesting is that the driving force is so intense that it defines their destiny. Where is the wildebeest without migration?
Simply stated,the fact is: this is meant to be their destiny. One may also argue that it is the forces of nature that are at play here. The forces which seek to balance the ecosystem, the population. This can be compared to a technology concept of hard wired programming, where a permanent instruction is given and cannot be altered.

But what about the predators lying in wait at the river crossing? Is it part of their instinct to wait at the river for crossing prey?
Nevertheless this is a wonderful spectacle that has been dubbed the seventh wonder of the world,and this is no overstatement. Anybody who has had the opportunity of experiencing the migration will have to agree with me that it always is a wonder to behold.
