NATURE: Born to Run

Stand with us on the baking-hot Serengeti Plain and meet some of the world's fastest creatures: Thomson's gazelles -- animals that are BORN TO RUN. Learn more about these delicate animals and their home, the celebrated Serengeti of East Africa. Go behind the scenes with filmmaker Patrick Morris. Find out which other animals share the Thomson's gazelle's distinction for swiftness. Lastly, don't miss our Resources section, featuring both related Web sites and books.
