The Serengeti (/ˌsɛrənˈɡɛti/) ecosystem is a geographical region in Africa. It is located in northern Tanzania and extends to south-western Kenya between 1 and 3 degrees south latitudes and between 34 and 36 degrees east longitudes. It spans approximately 30,000km2 (12,000sqmi). The Kenyan part of the Serengeti is known as Maasai Mara.
Approximately 70 large mammal and 500 bird species are found there. This high diversity is a function of diverse habitats, including riverine forests, swamps, kopjes, grasslands, and woodlands.Blue wildebeests, gazelles, zebras, and buffalos are some of the commonly found large mammals in the region.
In 2007, Serengeti released the collaborative album Don't Give Up with fellow local producer Polyphonic. The duo released their second album Terradactyl on Anticon in 2009.
Serengeti's music is a sharp departure from most mainstream hip hop, which he considers "depressing" and always consists of "the same redundant ideas." His music includes numerous references to Chicago culture often done in character as one of his several personae. On the title track of his album Dennehy, Serengeti assumes the role of "Kenny," a married man who loves Chicago Bears and Chicago White Sox with a thick Chicago accent reminiscent of Bill Swerski's Superfans. The track makes numerous references that would be well known to a Chicagoan, including the radio station WCKG, polish and Italian sausage, Tom Skilling, Mike Ditka, Dave Corzine, Portillo's Restaurants and "The Super Bowl Shuffle."
The brand was developed by Corning. In 1984, Corning considered closing its Serengeti division due to poor financial performance. However, entrepreneur Zaki Mustafa convinced the board that he could save the brand.
He attributed product-centric focus, poor marketing, anemic customer service, and inefficient asset management as the causes of poor sales.
With only fifty-two employees, he successfully raised sales from $5 million in 1985 to $62 million in 1992.
In 1995, Corning decided to sell the sunglass business. Vivian Gernand became the director and brought in a team to re-position the brand as more high end.. The re-position included the introduction of the Signia line for younger consumers, increased sports line and updated materials and changes for the Driver line. Gross profit increased as a percentage of sales, from approximately 35% for the three months ended September 30, 1996 to approximately 54% for the same period in 1997, primarily as a result of product mix. Approximately 73% of the 1997 sales consisted of premium Serengeti products that carry gross margins significantly higher than the company's non-premium products that comprised substantially all of the company's sales in 1996.

A day in the life of Snapshot Serengeti
My son helped me make this video with camera trap data from our ecology research project in Serengeti National Park. It shows a sequence of images from one camera trap over a ~48 hour period. Amazing what can happen at just one spot in a savanna. Enjoy!!

Building a Custom Object Detection Model on Microsoft Fabric with Snapshot Serengeti Dataset
Have you ever wondered how to make sense of large-scale and complex data sets? In the world of wildlife research, scientists face the challenge of analyzing millions of images captured by camera traps to study the diversity of wildlife in different ecosystems. But how do they handle such vast amounts of data and extract meaningful insights?
This workshop, dives into the fascinating world of data analytics using Microsoft Fabric and explore how it can be used to analyze the Snapshot Serengeti dataset. The workshop will take you through the entire process of building an end-to-end data analytics solution, including loading the data into a Lakehouse, exploring the data using SQL, visualizing the data using Power BI, and even training a machine learning model.
