For miles around, there are trees sparsely laid out over the ground. Foot prints of animals that have come and gone can be seen. The lake dominates the landscape. It is three miles long, one mile wide, and two hundred feet deep at it's deepest point.
During the wet season is when the lake is at it's fullest peak, but during the dry season, the lake dries up and shrinks to only 2 and 1/4 miles long, a quarter mile wide, and 50 feet deep. This drying up also exposes part of the lake bed which isn't exposed during the wet season. This offers predators a chance to scavenge fish and other aquatic life that has died. But there is also another danger.
The upper layer of sediment gets hardened, but the bottem is still a slurry of mud, so heavier animals beware.
Off to the east is a river, where there may be a better another good chance of hunting or scavenging from a fresh kill.
To the south and to the west is where the main part of the flood plain is. There you will have to work hard for what you kill. If you're a herbivore though, the vegetation will be plentiful during the wet season if you can get to it.
(OOC: Unlike most random events, this one will happen if you weigh over 10 tons. So if you're under that, don't worry, if you're right on that, worry a little bit, if you're over that, worry a lot. This is regarding the lake during the dry season.)
