- This film explores the foundational research in the Serengeti National Park, Tanzania, that uncovered many of the ecological principles that govern how animal populations and communities are regulated.
This is the story of how ecologists Tony Sinclair, Simon Mduma, and Grant Hopcraft spent five decades piecing together the mystery of what makes the Serengeti the way it is and the central role wildebeest play. The film is divided into three main chapters. Chapter 1 explores the phenomenon of the sudden increase in wildebeest and buffalo populations and connects to the concepts of top-down and bottom-up regulation and carrying capacity. Chapter 2 explores how migration allows wildebeest to reach enormous numbers. Chapter 3 explores how wildebeest indirectly affect many other components of the ecosystem, making them a keystone species. The film can be watched in its entirety or as standalone chapters.

forgot this was for a class and just started to enjoy myself :)
aye what do you mean by that

Thanks for doing this!
Yo thanks bro, this was very helpful
@@biointeractive i like wildebest
Beautiful that someone dedicated his entire life here for the love of nature
Ha! I think I must be the oldest nature lover here: 75---''early boomer'' ;-) I was mesmerized in Jr. High by the National Geographic about Jane Goodall...and at University torn between Biology and Art. Art won, but I combined them in my landscape painting and nature photography.
Living where I choose--in Israel, is exciting for nature lovers--and archeology and anthropology, too.
Early man and Neanderthals, desert, green mountains and the Red Sea and the Mediterranean sea.
One of the great things about this video is how the cooperation of scientists from many fields--and countries--compounds our understanding on a wide scale. A wonderful video: full of wonders, beautifully done. Many thanks!
This documentary is far far better than my Ecology classes 😍😍😍
This video is awesome! Watching this didn't even feel like an assignment. I had to remind myself to take notes though lol
Thank you so so much Tony for spending your life.
Unbelievable unbelievable life unbelievable. Sorry, thank you for creating this documentary for those of us that are ignorant. How to explain it about such places? Through this documentary, you made it seem like a special place very, very special place. It almost makes me want to go there except that I'm a city boy.I wouldn't survive For a day
It's really magical how such a singular change could affect the whole damn ecosystem. Nature writes itself.
This is Carl Sagan's Cosmos level of quality. Awesome.
So great to finally see this film out in the world!
Well Done Neil and Nate! Using it in my class today.
one of the most beautiful documentaries I have seen ever. thank you
Wow, thank you!
Like many others, had to watch this for my biology course. Have to say, one of the more interesting videos I’ve seen. Learned a lot from it, and was pretty fascinating.
the best video I've seen in CZcams for years.
me puse a ver este video por un trabajo y salí llorando, es un hermoso documental :')
I cried watching this........only few weeks ago on Ecology poster presentation, I did on wildebeest mass drowning and it's impact on aquatic system which our tutor gave me the highest score and applauded me! Thank you wildebeest and I have an Ecology exam tomorrow, hope it goes well 🙏

what a incredible nature film, very well structured and educational.
Incredible! Thanks for making this awesome film!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very informative, educational. and beautifully done ! Thank You .
i really enjoy this! thank you for the amazing short film!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I was there but I did not know that. Now full picture is visible. Thank you
Beautiful
I have to do this for school. Big sad
You're telling me this didn't get your attention? Not once?
Me too 😢
Me too
Amazing!
A long time ago I thought wildebeest purpose was nothing but a lawnmower and this video confirmed it. Nice documentary. Can't wait to see Serengeti again in the near future.
Glad it was helpful!
Science in action. Great!!!
Thanks for preparing this awesome video!
thankyou so much
Great video, thank you very much , note to self(nts) watched all of it 39:03
Excelente
I loved every minute of this!
🥺 too beautiful ❤️
Who seeing in 4k quality like me?
And they wanted to do something to stop wild beasts from increasing but chose not to let nature take its cause its very interesting even if it all started when Rinderpest virus was reduced if not there would be still less wildebeests, more fires, less trees, more grass. From Kenya Nairobi and have never known such wonderful occurrence of our nature.
Nice
I was wondering why the serengeti is grassland instead of forest. I thought the elephants just knocked down all the trees. So in northeast india and other places with lots of rain, elephants can eat both grass and tree parts. But the serengeti has a monsoon climate and is hot year-round. So grass doesn’t have a chance to grow large enough to be of much use to elephants and is eaten by wildebeest anyway. All that dry grass and dry trees combined with the constant heat will set ablaze eventually, killing off the trees. And the first things to grow back will be the grass. This doesn’t happen in india during the monsoons there, cause india can get cold enough in winter to not burn down, so India has more forests.
It’s so satisfying
hush
I because of an assignment, but it is so interesting.
thats a top down limiting factor am i right
Doesn't that zebra looking plane attract lions?
just reminding myself that i am at 8:43
This would be so great if I didn't have to take notes in this 🤦♂️ 🤦♂️👎

Laboratory? Scientists? Any slightly humble apprentices of Mother Nature?
God knows what he's doing, it's just man don't believe it?????????
Nice
