What is found in Lake Eyre?

In: Australia, Lakes and Rivers [Recategorize]

After the northern wet season, Lake Eyre is home to a huge variety of wildlife, as it lies at the centre of a huge network of rivers which are dry until the monsoonal rains arrive in the north. Pelicans and other wetlands birds fly in from thousands of kilometres away to feast on the abundant fish and to breed, until the lake begins to dry up again.

Various forms of plankton live within Lake Eyre, and frog species bury themselves to survive until the next wet season. There are specially adapted reptile species, such as the tiny Lake Eyre Dragon, which has special eyelashes that protect it from the glare of the summer sun and white salt crystals on the lake surface.

When the lake fully dries up, it is encrusted with thick salt deposits.
