Life in puddles

A pool of water in the Great Rift Valley, Kenya, is a place where all animals must visit during the day.

According to the Telegraph, photographer Greg du Toit lurked near a puddle of Great Rift valley in Kenya for months to document the sight of water-drinking animals here.

To capture photos of wild lions drinking water, photographer Greg du Toit has soaked himself in water for three months. Because of that, he had many diseases, including malaria. In addition, there are many parasites in his body.

Greg du Toit dug holes and built many hidden places near the puddle to watch the animals.

In addition to lions, he also met many other animals to puddles.

With careful animals like zebras, Greg du Toit must sit still for hours.

Only a small noise could make the zebras run.
