Original: This is a landscape where rivers disappear for decades, only to return without warning, and hippos fight lions
BBC Wildlife Magazine is highlighting one of the world's most extreme wild landscapes, a place where rivers can disappear for decades and then return without warning, and where hippos come into violent conflict with lions. The description points to a harsh, unpredictable ecosystem shaped by dramatic shifts in water availability. Coverage focuses on the remarkable wildlife adaptations and survival struggles that such unstable conditions create for animals living there.
