🇰🇪 Lake Kamnarok in Kenya - Africa's second largest crocodile habitat - dries up due to a lack of rain
▪️ The lake was once home to about 10,000 crocodiles, and now the parched lakebed is flooded with their remains.
▪️ In addition to the lack of rain, one of the reasons the lake dried up is that the water from it drained into a natural fissure in the earth's crust
