Ol Kokwe is an extinct volcanic center related to Korosi volcano, a shield volcano north of the lake. Ol Kokwe Island has several hot springs and fumaroles, some of which have precipitated sulfur deposits.
Lake Baringo is only one of two freshwater lakes in Kenya's Great Rift Valley--the other one being Lake Naivasha. It has a surface area of 130 square kilometers (50 sq mi) and an elevation of 970 meters (3,180 ft). The waters are assumed to seep through lake sediments into the faulted volcanic bedrock.
For this reason, the lake levels fluctuate greatly. By 2020 the lake level had risen substantially, covering up to 200 square kilometers, displacing many people around the lake. Land clearing in the catchment area has led to more runoff and erosion. The increased sediment load gives the lake its brownish color and also contributes to lake level rises.

Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs (TEED) performs at Oxjam Festival in Studio Private, London on 26th September 2013.
You're a dinosaur and you are already extinct,
But you're never going to go hungry,
Especially when you get to share this bumper sticker
With a stick figure family.

It was surprising that these camels were native to California.

Uintatherium, ("Beast of the Uinta Mountains") is an extinct genus of mammal that lived during the Eocene epoch, which includes a single species currently recognized, U. anceps. They were similar to rhinos today both in size and in shape, although they were not closely related. Their fossils are the largest and most impressive of the sites on the exavation of Fort Bridger in Wyoming , and were a focal point of the Bone Wars between Othniel Charles Marsh and Edward Drinker Cope. Fossils have been found in both Wyoming and in Utah near the Uinta Mountains, to which the animal owes its name. It appeared in the early Eocene 52 million years ago and lived in the region that is now the American Southwest. Their teeth were similar to the saber-toothed cat. It was a herbivore that fed on leaves, bushes, and grass.
Uintatherium was a large browsing animal, about the size of a rhinoceros. Its most unusual feature was the skull, which is both large and strongly built, but simultaneously flat and concave: this feature is rare and not regularly characteristic of any other known mammal except in some brontotheres. Its cranial cavity was exceptionally small due the walls of the cranium being exceedingly thick. The weight of the skull was mitigated by numerous sinuses permeating the walls of the cranium, like those in an elephant's skull.

Also known as the Tasmanian wolf. It's kind of incredible to have such a nice mount of an animal that no longer lives anywhere on the planet.
The tall spines on the forward part of this extinct camel's back suggest it had a single hump. At the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles.
Couldn't leave out the animals that forms a big part of our history.
Anyone know the names of the various types of dinosaurs depicted here?
It's size was 3.5 m (11 feet).

Technically extinct, but continuous sightings that have mounted up to thousands over the years, all unconfirmed but many quite reliable, suggest quite a strong possibility that they're still out there, although realism does prove otherwise. Still, in my opinion, there's a population out there, aswell as on the mainland, where they were said to have been secretly introduced by the Victorian government. Not a great chance. But I'm still hopeful.
Thylacine - Thylacinus cynocephalus
The thylacine is one of the most fabled animals in the world. Yet, despite its fame, it is one of the least understood of Tasmania's native animals. European settlers were puzzled by it, feared it and killed it when they could. After only a century of white settlement the animal had been pushed to the brink of extinction. Full details of the demise of the thylacine can be found at our threatened species site.
The thylacine looked like a large, long dog, with stripes, a heavy stiff tail and a big head. Its scientific name, Thylacinus cynocephalus, means pouched dog with a wolfs head. Fully grown it measured about 180 cm (6 ft) from nose to tail tip, stood about 58 cm (2 ft) high at the shoulder and weighed up to 30 kg. The short, soft fur was brown except for 13 - 20 dark brown-black stripes that extended from the base of the tail to almost the shoulders. The stiff tail became thicker towards the base and appeared to merge with the body.
Thylacines were usually mute, but when anxious or excited made a series of husky, coughing barks. When hunting, they gave a distinctive terrier-like, double yap, repeated every few seconds. Unfortunately there are no recordings.
The thylacine was shy and secretive and always avoided contact with humans. Despite its common name, 'tiger' it had a quiet, nervous temperament compared to its little cousin, the Tasmanian devil. Captured animals generally gave up without a struggle, and many died suddenly, apparently from shock. When hunting, the thylacine relied on a good sense of smell, and stamina. It was said to pursue its prey relentlessly, until the prey was exhausted. The thylacine was rarely seen to move fast, but when it did it appeared awkward. It trotted stiffly, and when pursued, broke into a kind of shambling canter.
