Successful crossing.

Wildebeest herd coming down to the Mara River to cross to the other side. Having crossed the Mara River successfully, the wildebeest now start grazing on the plains. While the crossing was taking place, the crocodiles were just not interested in catching the wildebeest. It seems that they were just not hugry, looking at their bloated stomachs.
