After the rains in Kenya’s Masai Mara, the grasslands are transformed into lush green carpets. This new growth triggers incredible behavior in animals like the male widow bird, which leaps high into the air to impress females. These jumps are not only displays of strength but also a rhythmic dance of survival, as the bird competes for attention in this vibrant grassland community.
