The storm is now subsiding, but not all the elephants have been so lucky. One youngster has got lost. Thirsty and exhausted, it follows the tracks of its mother, but sadly in the wrong direction. At the peak of the dry season in the Kalahari water arrives in the Okavango. It fell as rain 1, 000 miles away in the highlands of Angola and has taken nearly five months to reach here. The water drives out insects from the parched ground, which are snapped up by plovers. Catfish, travelling with the flood, collect any drowning creatures the birds have missed. It' s a seasonal feast for animals of all kinds. Birds are the first to arrive in any numbers wattled cranes, then black storks. Behind the birds come buffalo. After weeks of marching their trek is coming to an end. |
