The merciless sun scorches down,
and dust devils dance...
1:17:05
...across the parching earth.
1:17:40
Most of the animals migrate
to other regions...
1:17:45
...but some hardy and
some foolhardy ones remain.
1:17:50
And the vultures know that their
prosperous time is approaching.
1:18:07
By this time, the great lake
has dried up completely...
1:18:10
...into a boundless, white expanse.
1:18:14
Mummified fish lie scattered
on the dry, cracked surface.
1:18:19
Animals migrating across the lake
from the Kalahari...
1:18:23
...plod through cruel mirages of water
that doesn't splash under their feet...
1:18:27
...and they pass phantom trees
that offer no shade.
1:18:37
After days of plodding,
some begin to panic...
1:18:40
...when there seems to be
no end to the vastness.
1:18:50
Some just give up and stop walking.
