The Disappearing Lake
Clip: Episode 4 | 2m 21sVideo has Closed Captions
Every year the largest fresh water lake in China almost completely disappears.
As the water levels drop at Poyang Lake thousands of birds arrive to feed on the roots of aquatic plants that are uncovered. Critically endangered Siberian cranes travel the furthest; a month long journey for the unique feeding opportunity brought about by the changing water levels.
