Floods Move Hippos to New Parts of Namibia
|
|||
| This year's flooding in the
Caprivi has significantly altered Namibia's landscape displacing humans as
well as wildlife. Lake Liambezi, which has not held water in the past 20
years is full again and serving as a new home to crocodiles as well as a
herd of hippos.
|
Unfortunately, the presence of the animals
is making agriculture along the edges of the lake difficult. The hippos are
believed to have walked from the Mamili Park area to the lake. The water
entered the lake via Muyako and from the south through the Chobe River.
