The Mara River is bringer of both life and death. The rushing rapids provide much needed hydration for myriad of animals that call the Maasai Mara home, yet it also serves as a treacherous barrier between sweet green grass and starvation. The wildebeest, zebra and Thomson's gazelle that depend on good grazing face death by crocodile and drowning alike. Their gauntlet it seems is never ending in the quest for survival. See what triumphs and defeats the Mara River has in store during this migration on safariLIVE: The Gauntlet, Fridays, 11 pm EDT on Nat Geo WILD. You can also catch safariLIVE: The Gauntlet as well as safariLIVE: Overtime on the safariLIVE YouTube channel as well as natgeo.com/Safarilive.
