Cheer for the underdog!This is the Rocky of anime. It will tug at your heart strings and leave you starving for more. The action is very well drawn and the animation is great! You can feel every punch. You'll want another season so badly you'll barely be able to stand it. A triumph in anime history.
Amazing series - wish the manga as available in English also!I have watched the entire anime series a few times. It's the only sports anime that I like (I hate sport anime as a genre, actually!) The characters are hilarious and develop well over the course of the seasons. Ippo goes from being a kicked around kid at the mercy of bullies to being the best boxer in his weight class. This is also a fun anime to watch as a martial artist because everything here ...Read more

The characters are unique and very lovable, the fights are thrilling, everything i could ask for.
Really just a top notch show GO RUN AND WATCH IT NOW
Get Pumped up for Boxing!I am one who is typically not interested in most sports. I do occasionally watch the, but they don't hold too much interest for me. Now, when a friend of mine talked about Hajime No Ippo, I did not think I would become a fan of this show. I mean it's about boxing, it's grounded in reality, it does jazz it up a bit to make it more interesting, but otherwise it's boxing. But this show has something ...Read more
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful:Watch the first 2 seasons first!!!I hate boxing. Dumb, overrated, and senseless. At least that is what I used to think. OK, stand alone, this is an excellent anime about a group of boxers (starring Makunouchi Ippo) and the fights they face and trials up to, and during, the fights. The characters are very very lovable, relatable, and consistent. The fights themselves and brilliantly done and they literally keep you on the edge of ...Read more

4 out of 4 people found this review helpful:The Best Sports AnimeThis show got me into sports animes and it is the best at. Crunching devastating blows, intrigue and strategy, coupled with humor and wit. You really can't ask any more from an anime. I recommend watching at the beginning with Fighting Spirit Hajime no Ippo.
Simple Boxing ExcellenceHajime No Ippo isn't deep. It is not complex. Like the characters it portrays and the real people that it intends to emulate, it wears all of its heart on its sleeve. But, that's the beauty of it. This show boils down the true spirit of sport fighting, whether it be Boxing, Karate, Tae Kwon Do, Jiu-Jitsu, or otherwise.Read more

It has all of the qualities a great anime should have; Inspiration, Story, Emotion, and absolutely fantastic editing.
Definitely my most recommendable anime by far. If you haven't watched this series yet you are missing out on an absolute masterpiece.

2004 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Sedan E320 4MATIC AWD 4dr Sedan (3.2L 6cyl 5A)
love the ride, handling, features,
styling, etc. this is my first
european sedan-- friends warned me
about quality problems but i bought it
anyway because i really liked the
overall vehicle ride and impression.
however, its been recalled twice and
the rocker arms need to be replaced.
all this at 20,000 mi. mb needs to get
its act together on build quality! if
i were not now gunshy about
quality/reliability, i d have almost
nothing but good things to say. only
complaints about performance and design
are power/acceleration and the
cupholders-- agree with other reviewers
they are a little hokey.
styling, ride, handling, hwy milage
quality and reliability-- for the price
customers deserve better. cupholders.
Excellant quality and workmanship
the car is probably the best car in
the world. worth every dollar. if you
want the best then you car is a
Mercedes-Benz E class
a larger dealeer network
After saving $63,000 and waiting 3
months for delivery, I'm not happy at
all. At delivery, both seat backs was
loose, AC auto makes loud noise in
operation, engine noise is excessive,
at low cruising car bucks and launches
when accelerating, sun roof electronics
are not functioning as designed, there
is a shuttering sound coming from the
out side of car at speeds over 60. All
this and I only had the car 6 weeks!
What happened to Quality insurance and
delivery inspections. Im taking this
car back to dealer calming I got a
lOVE the GPS Nav system. Color,Silver
with Stone leather. HRE wheels and
Tint. The premium stereo is better than
Windshield vision on the right side is
blocked by the rear-view mirror ,
also needs pull strap to lower back
center arm rest. Needs better radio
reception. The carpet need upgrading.
Picked up my E320 4Matic a few days
ago. My wife and I fell in love with
the car when we first saw it at the
dealership and we still feel the same
after having gotten the car. It handles
beautifully and the interior is really
comfortable. The styling of the car
still gives me goosebumps.
Our dealer installed NAV system did not
work right so the salesman came and
picked up the car, took it to their
repair deptt, fixed it and dropped the
car off 2 hours later. MB service is
Exterior and interior styling. Handling.

Brazil Ties Colombia 1-1, Neymar Misses PK
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) ? Neymar scored in the 64th minute and then skied a penalty kick well over the crossbar in the 81st, leaving Brazil with a disappointing 1-1 draw against Colombia in an exhibition game Wednesday night.
The 20-year-old forward, who has emerged as Brazil's star as it prepares to host the 2014 World Cup, offset Juan Guillermo Cuadrado's 44th-minute goal for Colombia by using his quick feet to get around a defender. But then, after Pablo Armero pulled down Daniel Alves in the penalty area, Neymar had an embarrassing miss.
He took several steps to his left, then slowed in his approach and sent his penalty kick a good 15 yards over the crossbar and into the stands. Neymar's tongue was hanging as he retreated to midfield.

Bubba Watson's hook shot remains hot topic
Augusta, Ga. - It looked crazy good on television. But to truly appreciate the shot Bubba Watson pulled off to win the 2012 Masters, you've got to walk down, down, down the steeply pitched 10th fairway at the Augusta National Golf Club, veer to the right some 350 yards from the tee, stand on pine straw behind towering magnolia trees and see for yourself.
This couldn't have been the spot. No one can hook a wedge shot that quickly, bend it that much, hit it that far.
But it is the spot. And Watson did hit the shot, curving his golf ball in the shape of a "C" with his 52-degree wedge, side-spinning it to a stop on the green about 160 yards away and then two-putting for a par to beat Louis Oosthuizen on the second hole of a sudden-death playoff.
"I'm obviously going to say I'm the only one that can do it," Watson said. "I'm the only one who had a chance to do it."
True, that. It's likely no one else in the 76-year history of the Masters has ever hit a shot from that spot. And if he had, it surely didn't wind up on the green.
Even fellow left-hander and three-time Masters champion Phil Mickelson, no slouch himself in the miracle shot department, couldn't imagine duplicating Watson's hooded-wedge, coming-in-hot hooker.
For one thing, said Mickelson, "It's very unlikely I'll ever hit it that far (off the tee)."
Gene Sarazen struck the "shot heard 'round the world," a 4-wood from the fairway on the par-5 15th hole that rolled into the hole for a double-eagle in 1935 and put the Masters on the map.
Other memorable shots have become part of Masters lore: Fred Couples' tee shot on No. 12, which defied gravity and stopped on the shaved bank of Rae's Creek in 1992; Tiger Woods' slow-motion chip-in from behind the green on No. 16 in 2005; Mickelson's own pine straw bender on No. 13 in 2010.
But those shots occurred on the actual golf course. Bubba's shot originated from a spot where spectators can stand, talk and gawk.
Thousands of them have done exactly that this week, marveling at the imagination, nerve and technique it took to pull off such a physics-defying, mind-blowing shot under such withering pressure.
"It was all about speed," Watson said. "Speed, my hands rolling over and the way I set up to it with a little closed club face. I de-lofted it so when I swung it went lower. And just all that working together. How do you make that into scientific terms? I have no idea, but that's what I did."
We'll take his word for it.
Augusta National chairman Billy Payne said virtually every guest who has since played at the club has walked over to Bubba Land and many have attempted to replicate the shot - usually (it can safely be assumed, since Payne is too much a gentleman to say it) with comical results.
"Funny story," Watson said. "We were coming down off the 18th tee Sunday (during a practice round) and there were some guys over there. I yelled at them, 'No, that's not the spot. It's a little over.' Just joking with them. And come to find out it was Billy Casper and his son."
Even the 1970 Masters champion wanted to see the spot for himself.
The fact that it was Watson who hit the shot makes it all the better because he'll revel in it, he'll talk about it, he'll cry over it until people stop asking him about it, which will be never.
"That might be my only legacy of winning the Masters, so I want that shot to live and I want it to grow," he said. "Hopefully, 20 years from now it's even tougher and there was bigger trees and it was a tougher situation."
A self-described "new-age redneck" - he doesn't smoke, drink, chew, hunt or fish - from a town called Bagdad in the Florida panhandle, Watson is among the most popular Masters champions in recent memory.
How can you not like a self-taught golfer named Bubba (given name Gerry) who zips around in a hovercraft golf cart, paid $110,000 for the General Lee car from "Dukes of Hazard," raps in overalls with the hilarious YouTube sensation "Golf Boys" and cries at the drop of a putt?
Bubba is one of us, except that he generates 135 mph club head speed with his driver and hits shots that leave even fellow touring pros shaking their heads in amazement.
"The cool thing about Bubba is that he's so unpolished," said former PGA champion Paul Azinger. "He's not that groomed kind of player that grew up with a golf coach. He doesn't have perfect hair, he doesn't have perfect technique and he's not wearing perfect clothes.
"He's just Bubba being Bubba and it's fun to watch. It's unique."
Watson, however, is no buffoon. He's smart if not sophisticated, and he has a deep reverence for Augusta National and the Masters. He hasn't allowed his green jacket to be photographed and none of his friends has tried it on.
"Out of respect and honor for Augusta National as one of the greatest clubs we have, as one of the greatest tournaments, out of respect for them I didn't do any of my funny antics that I normally would do," he said. "Only thing I did was wrap (then newly adopted son) Caleb in it."
As if on cue, tears started spilling down his cheeks.
"The way that I see it is I've been blessed to do what I do for a living," he said. "I enjoy it. Now I'm blessed to have a green jacket."
Watson, 34, returns to Augusta as the defending Masters champion and knows that precious few men - Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo and Woods - have successfully repeated.
His goal, at least when he starts the first round Thursday, is more modest.
"I want to make the cut because, first off, I don't want to have to sit around (until Sunday) and give somebody the green jacket," he said of the tournament's traditional victory ceremony. "I want to be here on Sunday, playing.
"It's a different year. I'm getting older. Different conditions. So who knows how I'll play? I could miss the cut. I could win. You never know what's going to happen."
As for his shot on the 10th hole, Watson said it was only his fourth-best shot of the week last year. He said he pulled off more difficult shots on Nos. 7, 11 and 17, the latter off hardpan in the final round with the same 52-degree wedge he would use three holes later to cause golf fans around the world to jump out of their chairs.
Augusta National asked for the wedge for its trophy case, and Watson gladly parted with it.
Payne was asked Wednesday if the club would consider commemorating the shot with a plaque on No. 10. He didn't rule it out, saying he'd like to "see how history remembers that before we would make that decision."
"Who wouldn't want to see a plaque that says 'Bubba' in the middle of the pine straw?" Watson asked.
It was a rhetorical question, the answer self-evident. Plaque it, and they will come.
To laugh. To talk. And mostly, to gawk.

Skip to comments.Catholic congressman: I'd rather save my soul than vote for the health care bill
Posted on 08/03/2009 1:23:16 PM PDT by NYer
.- Rep. Anh Joseph Cao, (R-New Orleans), the first Vietnamese-American congressman and a Catholic, announced this past weekend that, because of the stealth mandate for abortion still present in the Health Care bill, he prefers to save his soul rather than vote in favor of it.
Cao, the only member of the Louisiana House delegation who had not weighed in on where he stands on the health reform bill, told the Times-Picayune on Saturday that he cannot support any bill that permits public money to be spent on abortion.
At the end of the day if the health care reform bill does not have strong language prohibiting the use of federal funding for abortion, then the bill is really a no-go for me, said Cao, who spent time in formation to be a Jesuit priest.
Being a Jesuit, I very much adhere to the notion of social justice, Cao said. I do fully understand the need of providing everyone with access to health care, but to me personally, I cannot be privy to a law that will allow the potential of destroying thousands of innocent lives, he explained to the Louisiana newspaper.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee announced that Cao will be one of seven Republican members of Congress targeted with radio ads that will play on radio stations with largely African-American audiences, urging him to support Obama's health reform efforts.
I know that voting against the health care bill will probably be the death of my political career, Cao said, but I have to live with myself, and I always reflect on the phrase of the New Testament, How does it profit a man's life to gain the world but to lose his soul.
Cao is the first native of Vietnam to serve in Congress and the first Republican to serve in his district since 1890. He won in a district that usually votes overwhelmingly Democratic.
The poorest member of Louisiana's delegation, and a devout Roman Catholic, Cao served as a board member for Mary Queen of Vietnam Catholic Church's Community Development Corporation which assists Vietnamese-Americans with hurricane relief, and is a member of the National Advisory Council of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
Cao also told the Times-Picayune that he is still undecided about the merits of including a public option in any health reform redesign. He believes that it may ultimately lead to the destruction of the private insurance market and a "government takeover" of health insurance.
This is a positive sign.
Yes! Good to see!
They all have access to it. They just have to pay for it.
"he cannot support any bill that permits public money to be spent on abortion".
Yeah I HAVE A REAL DAMN PROBLEM with this too.
And any politician who supports taking my money to pay for abortions anywhere, even overseas has lost my vote.
Thank you Congressman Cao for speaking the truth about this bill that will bankrupt the country, provide free care for illegals (thanks to us taxpayers) and fund abortions as part of national healthcare. If for no other reason, this bill needs to be defeated completely.
Keep politics and religion separate!!!
I emailed Rep. Cao to tell him that he is a GREAT AMERICAN!!
How refreshing it is to see a real man in Congress.
My email came back because of my location. I told him how proud I was to be his fellow American.
So I called and told his staffer who thanked me very much.

Saint Thomas More would be proud. Unfortunatley most CINOs Donkeys sold their sold to gain Wales.
It's no surprise that the Dems included publicly-funded abortion in this bill.
The 2008 DNC platform statement says "The Democratic Party strongly and unequivocally supports Roe v. Wade and a woman's right to choose a safe and legal abortion, regardless of the ability to pay, and we oppose any and all efforts to weaken or undermine that right".
The Dems want taxpayer-funded abortions for any woman (or girl, since age is not a restriction) in any trimester, for any reason.
This policy dovetails nicely with other provisions in the bill that will open the path to nationalized euthenasia for old people, through heathcare benefit denial.
A man of convictions. Excellent.
A man of conviction. NY could use a guy like that. So could Washington
"Keep politics and religion separate!!!"
Yeah, right. Did you forget the (sarc)?
For the 95% of people that live in districts without competition in Congressional races, this is one guy you can give some money to. He is a Republican who slipped into a black district, due in large part to Katrina (people leaving), but also due to some blacks who got fed up with the monsters they get thrown into their faces by black leaders.
He is an amazing person. Also, between opposing abortion and being tough on criminals, he will probably save more black lives than any other Congressman elected by a black district. If he can hold his seat, it will be a body-blow to the Democratic Party.
Yah moral values about murder and things have no basis intruding on politics no siree bob.
Or is the anticatholic sentiment riding so high that it trumps supporting a man concerned about supporting the murder of defensless babies ?
There is no mandate on this forum to visit threads that are not of interest to you.
Thank you for the email to the Congressman and the his snail mail address.
And on the other hand, if others follow suit...not just about abortion...but the myriad of other invasive unconstitutional and Marxist provisions permeating this bill this may be his best political move yet.
When I was an Army officer in Vietnam I must admit that my feelings towards the Vietnamese were racist, and my opinions were chauvinistic, etc. I have been continually astonished at what good Americans they have become. In fact I am for the most part ashamed of the present generation of Congress people who seem to have no clue about the Constitution, and no principles other than reelection. This man is a paragon.
Are you serious or being sarcastic?
I doubt those radio ads will contain the following fact:
Freedom of religion not freedom from religion.
Pelican State ping
It is remarkable that he won his district because New Orleans is primarily black and votes democrat. Since Katrina with downsizing of the black population he was able to win (and maybe people have wised up in New Orleans). They also have a large Vietnamese population in Eastern New Orleans. Before Katrina there was one Catholic church in the east with a congregation of 5,000. ( don't know the figure now). He is not in my district but I am glad New Orleans is finally getting a politician with morals and character - they need it.
He won because of an 'act of God'. Seriously.
A hurricane put him in office... That and laziness on the part of the voters in his community.
William Jefferson - of the $100,000 bribe money in the freezer - didn't win his primary outright. He needed a runoff.
Hurricane Gustav delayed the runoff election in his district.
So runoff democratic primary was held when everyone else was holding their final election.
Turnout for this election was huge, due to O's pull. Congressman Jefferson won.
Then a month later, the final election was held.
This was the only election on the ballot.
Interest was low. Turnout was much lower.
Jefferson did not turn out but 1/5th of the voters he did the month prior.
He won because of an act of God. Seriously.
Thank You God, now if you would please take care of America's presidency, congress and supreme court, Amen!
_Dad you sure know your stuff!

For the sixth game in a row, the Cleveland Browns took a lead into the locker room at intermission. And for the fifth time this season they were completely outplayed in the second half by a very beatable opponent. The Browns fall to the Detroit Lions 31-17, dropping their record to 3-3.
The Browns play in the second half this season, no matter who the quarterback is, has been horrible. In six games they have not scored in the second half at all twice; take away the 20 second half points they scored against the Bills they are averaging four second half points a game; even with the Bills game they are averaging less than seven second half points a game; and in three of the games they have scored no fourth quarter points.
Against the Lions the refs did the Browns no favors on several big plays. I had a good view of the first quarter pass interference call on Joe Haden in the end zone, it was a lousy call and the replay backed up the fact. Also the replay showed the pass Greg Little caught in the fourth quarter challenged by the Browns was a catch. What did the refs see in that replay we didn't?
Brandon Weedon had a solid first half, throwing two touchdowns and no interceptions. In the second half he threw two picks he shouldn't have, and scored no points. How much of that is Weedon's fault and how much of it is the offensive game plan is something we will never know. Both of Weedon's interceptions were his fault, poorly thrown balls at the wrong time.
The defense was on the field too much the second half, but that is not an excuse for some sloppy play. They too did not make some needed in game adjustments. They needed to quit covering Reggie Bush out of the backfield with a linebacker who could not keep up with him, and how many big plays were they going to let tight end Joseph Fauria before changing up things on him?
The Browns are a terrible second half team on offense. They can't protect first half leads, and seem to make much more mistakes after the half than before. For example, the team's last five interceptions have been during the second half, they haven't thrown a first half pick since the first half of the first game.
The radio and television talk shows this week will all be about Brandon Weedon. I don't know if he is the answer at quarterback, and I know he threw two interceptions against the Lions he wishes he had back, but the problems on offense are not about who is at quarterback. The problems are the inability to hold leads, not taking time off the clock in the second half with successful drives, and not scoring second half touchdowns.
Remember the old saying, when a team wins the quarterback gets too much of the credit, and when they lose too much of the blame.
Brian Hoyer is hurt and out for the year. Weedon and Campbell are whom we have left for the season. But don't think things are going to change in the future. There is no Andrew Luck coming up in the next NFL draft, the next few NFL drafts for that matter. Drafting a quarterback is a crapshoot in this era were most college quarterbacks never really learn to read defenses and coverages. The RGIIIs of the world take off and run if their main targets aren't open, and we see how things are working out for the real RGIII in Washington. The team traded away their future for him and they are currently 1-4, and yesterday he threw no touchdown passes in a 31-16 loss to the Cowboys.
Blame Weedon for the loss to the Lions if you feel you must blame someone. But if you do, also spread some of the blame around also to the offensive coaches for some poor second half-play calling, and to a defense that didn't make any adjustments when needed.
Pregame Notes…For our pregame activities this week we decided to check out the festivities around the Galleria on East Ninth Street and I'm glad we did. We got there at 10:15 and Winks, a Winking Lizard knockoff, was already jumping. There was outdoor and indoor seating, and they feature beers and spirits from Ohio and the surrounding region. I'm not of the craft beer generation, I'm showing my age, but still found a few beers I liked. I had a veggie wrap fro breakfast and it was very good. About half the stands in the food court were open, and there was a bar and DJ out on the patio. We walked down to East Ninth and Lakeside where WKNR and several of their sponsors had a great set up that included a live band, several bars with large screen TVs, and plenty of room to get comfortable.
Next week I'll be coming to you from Green Bay, as I will be making the pilgrimage to one of the shrines of football. I am not giving up on the Browns or anyone on the team or coaching staff. Still plenty of football to be played, and I really believe the Browns are so close to being good. I'm not waiting for some franchise quarterback to show up to turn things around; it is just not going to happen anytime soon. We are stuck with this team and I am sticking with them.

RATINGS: 785 WEIGHTED AVG: 3.77/5 SEASONAL: Special EST. CALORIES: 300 ABV: 10%
Sea Monster Imperial Stout is a new version of an old favorite. This hearty stout is black as the abyss and clocks in at a whopping 10% ABV, a real monster. The flavors of roasted coffee and bittersweet chocolate are complamented by a velvety smoothness from the addition of un-malted barley and oats. Colombus and Amarillo hops help to balance out the huge malt character of this flavor bomb. Be careful the alcohol is well hidden and will sneak up on you if you dont watch out. Like most scary monsters, it can be a little intimidating, but have no fear.

"This is the power of open source: with many eyes on the system, the weaknesses will be brought to light quite rapidly."

In theory that statement is great. Theoretically the more eyes on the code will find bugs faster. In practice I don't think so. I have heard of some pretty old bugs in popular open source libraries. Finding security bugs in software is a lot of work.Ā

I bet if a company was developing a commercial application where security counted that relied on open source libraries they would never rest on the assumption that the "many eyes looked at the code" so it must be secure. They pay someone to review the code every time.Ā

 Regarding the keys. I'm temped to add AGP to my Android phone so I can decrypt email from the 5 or so people I can use GPG'd email with from
 my phone. But my quandry is putting my private keys on the phone, which I really don't trust to keep them private on, or creating a different keyset for my phone, but then I'd have multiple keys for other people to decide which I might be using to read their email, or encrypt with both.. or.. or..

 So I'm just using one machine right now for GPG.. and I'm not so sure I
 trust it much, but I trust it more than I trust my phone.

ORLANDO, Fla. (February 11, 2014) ? This past weekend, Tampa Bay Rays? pitcher, Alex Cobb, delivered the pitch of a lifetime at Discovery Cove in Orlando.

In their own private cabana, Reynolds accepted Cobb?s marriage proposal, then celebrated with family and friends while discovering up-close animal encounters throughout the day.
Discovery Cove, located in the heart of Orlando, is an all-inclusive adventure where you can enjoy a one-of-a-kind opportunity to swim with dolphins, rays and tropical fish and hand-feed exotic birds.

• DUARTE'S NEW DUDS: Henry Duarte, the leather and denim designer who spent more than a decade outfitting Metallica, the Smashing Pumpkins and other rockers, is singing a new tune with a women's contemporary label called Duarte No. Q65. It is launching for fall with a palette concentrated in black and white. Cut from fabrics such as Japanese cotton gauze and boiled wool, the silhouettes take unconventional turns with drapes, asymmetric hems and ballooning volume in unlikely spots, like the area above the knee on cropped pants. Duarte's signature leather jackets exhibit a capelike drape in the back or a curved panel on the chest. Wholesale prices run from $315 to $420 for the leather pieces, $62 to $80 for knit dresses and $80 to $112 for trousers. Duarte is teaming up with Jon Levine, chief executive officer of the fashion label, who said he aims to generate $2 million to $3 million in wholesale sales in the first year. The line started shipping last month to department stores such as Henri Bendel and Holt Renfrew, in addition to specialty shops including Intermix; Fred Segal Fun in Santa Monica, Calif.; Knit Wit in Philadelphia, and Searle in New York.

• SEARS TO PAY PENALTY: The Consumer Product Safety Commission has reached an agreement with nine firms, including Sears Holdings Corp., to pay $355,000 in civil penalties for failing to report that children's outerwear they sold had drawstrings. Children's clothing with drawstrings at the neck are against CPSC regulations because of the danger of strangulation. Firms are required to inform the agency if they are selling any garments with them. Sears agreed to pay a civil penalty of $50,000, according to CPSC. Other firms named in the settlement agreements included A&R Knitwear Inc., AJ Blue LLC, Liberty Apparel Co., Cobmex Inc., Rebelette International Trading Corp., Siegfried & Parzival, Scope Imports and Vacation Clothing Exchange Inc., which does business as Basix USA.

The Great Migration is a marvellous movement of animals across Tanzania and into Kenya – plan your trip to see nature's greatest spectacle
They call it 'great' for a reason: some two million ungulates – over a million wildebeest, plus zebra, gazelles and eland – rumble across the sweeping savannah of Tanzania's Serengeti.
A wonder in itself, the Great Migration in Tanzania and Kenya is also a moveable feast – dinner for countless hungry predators, notably lions, leopard, cheetah, hyena and crocodiles, all of whom gather to pick off unfortunate prey from the massed herbivores.
What happens is this: the wildebeest are dispersed around the southern Serengeti plains during the rains at the end of the year, giving birth to their calves in January and February – some 8,000 are born each day.
Come April-May, the southern Serengeti becomes drier and the animals gather in huge herds, ready to move north-west towards greener grazing areas – the Great Migration. Arguably the most dramatic part of this mass movement is the crossing of the Grumeti River in the west of the Serengeti, usually in June or July – huge crocs lie in wait to pick off unwary ungulates as they paddle across.
From July, large numbers of moving munchers have crossed the northern border from Tanzania into Kenya's Masai Mara, though many others disperse around the northern Serengeti.
Come October or November, they're heading south again to enjoy the green shoots of post-rain grass – the Great Migration is a cyclical process.
There isn't just one Great Migration experience; depending on where you are at any given time, you might see massed herds in the south, the action-packed river crossings, or the rumbling exodus to the north.
A range of camps and lodges – from public park campsites to $1,000-per-night all-inclusive affairs – offers accommodation in various spots around the Serengeti; some are mobile, following the migration as it tracks around the park.
But whenever and wherever you stay, there's always plenty to gawp at in the Serengeti.

Pendant 175A
By Poul Christiansen, from Le Klint
free shipping on most orders
Le Klint
Hand-folded, multi-layered sculptural lights designed by architect Poul Christiansen.
Poul Christiansen
Between 1969 and 1987 Poul Christiansen brought innovative and exciting dimensions to Le Klint's lamp shades. Prior to his involvement the shades had been folded in pleats and in straight lines across the pleats. Poul Christiansen discovered that folding in mathematical curves gave the lamp shades beautiful and unique sculptural shapes.View other products by Poul Christiansen
Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from This light is gorgeous and very functional. I am redesigning a midcentury modern home and needed some cool lights in the half baths. These Le Klints really did the trick! They are very stylish and made of good quality plastic. They wipe clean! Overall, I am extremely satisfied.
