On the wide savanna, the sun was hot and the grass was dry. A young zebra named Zuri stood with her mother. Their herd was ready to walk to a new place with water and green grass. This long walk is called a migration, and it happens every year when the dry season comes. Zuri felt scared because the journey was very long.
Zuri's mother said, "Stay close to me, and you will be safe." The herd began to move across the golden land. Zuri saw many animals that eat grass, like gazelles and wildebeests, who were also walking to find food. These animals graze on the grass all day. They must keep moving because the drought made the grass dry and brown. Zuri learned that grazers are important because they eat the grass and help keep the savanna healthy.
