At the water holes, there is so much
traffic that all the grass is worn away.
1:00:29
Zebra in their thousands.
1:00:32
Graceful kudu, the males
with beautiful horns...
1:00:36
...the females with beautiful ears.
1:00:39
Oryx, who, unlike their cousins in the Namib,
revel in the abundant water.
1:00:44
Ostrich.
1:00:46
The fussy-looking secretary bird,
who's very good at short takeoffs...
1:00:50
...but needs a heck of a long runway
for landing.
1:01:03
The towering giraffe,
who makes the zebra look like toys.

Some years there's even a vast shallow
lake for a short while after the rain...
1:01:29
...where water birds converge
in great numbers.
1:01:32
The lake covers 8000 square miles, but it's
only a few inches to a few feet in depth.
1:01:40
And most years,
a great flock of pelicans establish...
1:01:43
...their breeding colony
in the middle of the lake.
1:01:48
They look stodgy and comical
on the ground and pompous in the air.
1:01:54
But on water, they have style and elegance.
1:01:57
They gather in flotillas
to herd fish into the shallows...
