River Leap of the Wildebeest

A wildebeest springs off a rocky bank, legs tucked tight and tail streaming behind him. His curved horns point ahead and his beard shakes as he flies. Below, the river swirls with zigzag lines and little splash drops that dot the air.

At the front, a strong swimmer plows through the water, sending ripples rolling outward. Behind him, more wildebeests bob along, noses up, ears flicking, manes spiky with wet stripes. Tufts of grass cling to the cliff, and the far water stretches wide, waiting for the whole herd.

Fun Fact!

The Great Migration involves over 1.5 million Blue Wildebeest traveling in a huge circle across the Serengeti plains.

Coloring Tips

  2. 2 Leave tiny white gaps in the water for shiny splash highlights.
  3. 3 Shade the river deeper blue near the splashes for motion.
  4. 4 Dot sandy tan on the bank and add little grass blades in green.
