The seasonal flooding of Botswana's inland Okavango Delta can cover more than 10,000 square miles (26,000 square kilometers). The annual influx sustains a rich diversity of life, including herds of lechwe, or marsh antelope, who have adapted splayed hooves to help them walk on the muddy terrain created by the deluge.
