This Is the World’s Biggest Animal Migration—and Few Outsiders Have Seen It

Amazing stuff! However, these seems to be dated news. It was apparently already reported in Mai/June of this year.

According to Google search: "The "Great Nile Migration" is the world's largest land mammal migration, involving an estimated six million antelope—including white-eared kob, tiang, Mongalla gazelle, and Bohor reedbuck—traveling across South Sudan and into Ethiopia. This vast event was confirmed by a comprehensive aerial wildlife survey and new maps, documented by African Parks and the South Sudan Ministry of Wildlife Conservation, after a lengthy period of being unknown due to conflict and the remote nature of the area."

"Six million antelope storm through a pocket of Africa that’s nearly impossible to get to, but the Journal caught them on camera."

Conservation maps show world’s largest mammal migration — and the urgent threat it faces (original news release) "The seasonal movements of two migratory antelope species — the white-eared kob and tiang — across South Sudan’s expansive wetlands and Ethiopia’s Gambella National Park have been mapped in unprecedented detail to help better conserve them."
