    Wildebeest are migrating grazers. Although grass does not move, its availability changes over time and space. Once the local supply of grass is depleted, grazers migrate in the expectation of finding quality grass. Thus migration allows a grazer to exploit a habitat for feeding according to the season.
    Wildebeests are slow to go into the river but fast to exit.
