The creature is destroyed by drought

Texas State, the United States is experiencing the worst drought in history. Trees that lack serious water are dying slowly, forest fires are constantly appearing in areas such as marshes and animals do not have enough grass to eat.

Photos taken by Texas State Parks and Wildlife Management (TPWD) show drought conditions are extremely serious.

The whole area of ​​West Texas lake has turned red like blood. OC Fisher Lake was so dry that the fishes here died of lack of oxygen and bacteria, causing many of the remaining puddles to turn red. The oxygen level of Fairfield Lake in East Texas has recently dropped very low, causing more than 170,000 dead fish, Steve Lightfoot, TPWD spokesman, said.

The US Drought Monitor (US Drought Monitor) said about 85% of Texas state is drought caused by the appearance of the La Nina cycle, John Nielsen-Gammon, Texas state climatologist said. LiveScience . This situation is the result of global warming.

La Nina may appear in the Pacific Ocean, heralding a dry winter and drought that lasts for years in Texas. A tropical rain or typhoon will save this situation but not much. According to scientists, the ratio after September 24 is only about 1/50.

The number of wild animals that live in Texas is declining significantly this year, especially Texas deer, because their food sources have been dried up. More worrisome is that migratory birds traveling through Texas beginning in September and lasting at the end of the fall are more likely to look elsewhere because there is not enough water for them.

Meanwhile, dry weather and extremely high temperatures this summer are among the causes of statewide fires. Fire has burned more than 3.5 million acres of Texas forests and pastures and more than 1,000 homes this year.

In Texas, the entire ecosystem of small insects to large predators is currently working to survive this stage. Drought is creating a chain effect on all creatures in Texas. The impact of drought will also spread to other states and across borders as Texas is a large state with a diverse ecosystem. This effect persisted for many years after the drought ended, researchers added.
