Following failed rainy seasons, Africa’s second-largest crocodile habitat has completely dried up.
Lake Kamnarok in Kenya’s Rift Valley once held 10,000 crocodiles, ranking second only to Lake Chad in terms of holding capacity.
However, oxbow lake has been shrinking over time, owing primarily to changes in weather systems.
According to local reports, it has also been draining its water to a nearby river via a natural fissure.
Crocodile carcasses are now strewn across the cracked floor. According to a resident, the few remaining crocodiles have relocated to nearby private dams.
He expressed concern about increased human-wildlife conflict as a result of encroachment.
