00:00 In winter, the water level in the prairie drops rapidly.
00:04 The fish that have thrived so far will pay dearly for it.
00:15 The white ibises invest the ponds and the marshes
00:24 that they know are full of fish trapped by the sudden drop in water.
00:28 The female alligator is not left behind.
00:31 Life smiles at her for the moment.
00:35 At the end of April, almost all the everglades are dry.
00:39 The water level in the prairie drops rapidly.
00:44 The fish that have thrived so far will pay dearly for it.
00:48 The white ibises invest the ponds and the marshes

00:59 At the end of April, almost all the everglades are dry.
01:04 The faint clouds that fly over them do not pour any drops of rain.
01:12 So much so that the grassland ends up turning into a vast meadow.
01:20 In the years of great drought, even the streams of alligators evaporate.
01:28 Faced with the drastic shortages of which their domain suffers,
01:31 the female must set out in search of a water source.
01:34 It is a dangerous journey through many unknown territories.
01:40 The sun is vital to the cold-blooded reptiles so that they remain active.

02:00 these rays can skin them alive.
02:03 Without any other solution, the female dives into the mud
02:15 to find the maximum of shade and humidity.
02:18 To be eternalized here would be synonymous with death.
02:21 She must resume her quest for a water source.
02:32 This is the only way to survive.
02:41 It will not be easy.
02:44 In the absence of rain, the drought spreads quickly under the sky
02:59 barely covered by modest, sunny clouds.
03:02 In some winters, the region becomes completely arid.
