The rotting corpses of dead cows and wild capybaras line the road that leads from Paz de Ariporo to Hato Las Taparas in the Colombian province of Casanare.

 

At least 20,000 animals, including wild pigs, deer, small crocodiles and tortoises have died of thirst during a catastrophic dry season in this central region.

 

And many fear this year's drought is only heralding a future of increasingly harsh summers and even more severe water shortages in Colombia's plains.
