Tanzania’s Lake Natron is the most caustic body of water on Earth. The ominously colored pool takes its name from the naturally occurring salt-mixture that saturates its depths. Natron (the mineral) was once used by the ancient Egyptians as a drying agent in the mummification process; and in the hellish brine of its namesake, where temperatures reach 140 degrees Fahrenheit, and alkalinity levels fall in the aggressively inhospitable range of pH 9–10.5, it serves a similar purpose.

The African Klipspringer when fully grown stands only about two feet tall. The animal is amazing in design, with small horns that act like duel daggers in close combat, large ears, a keen sense of smell, and sharp eyes that aid in warning the animal of danger. Perhaps the most remarkable aspect about the Klipspringer is its ability to defy gravity. A cliff dweller, this little creature darts from rock to rock with a nimbleness that is almost unbelievable. To the Klipspringer it matters not if the path be horizontal or perpendicular, up or down, it fearlessly streaks over any treacherous terrain. The reason it can do this is because of its hoof design. Upon close examination the animal looks as if it is running on tiptoe. The hooves act like suction cups, keeping the Klipspringer from slipping.

Animal bridges, which may also be known as ecoducts or wildlife crossings, are structures that allow animals to safely cross human-made barriers like highways. A wildlife crossing is the broadest term and can include: underpass tunnels, viaducts, overpasses and bridges, amphibian tunnels, fish ladders, culvets and green roofs. This wildlife bridge was designed by Zwarts & Jansma Architects and is located near Rijssen.
