For prey species living on Kenya's grasslands, boundaries are less important than safety. This Coke's hartebeest stood at the centre of a small zebra herd — an unlikely gathering, yet utterly natural. Out here, safety is shared, and the savannah belongs to all. It may seem strange to see a mixed herd like this, but these animals are not huddled together by chance. Different species watch for different threats, listen for different sounds and, together, they are safer. Slightly uncertain about my presence, the zebras and hartebeest turned in unison to assess if I was friend or foe, proving the value of having multiple eyes scanning for danger.
