A drought happens when there no rain for a long period of time. In a drought plants do not grow properly. As streams and rivers dry up plants and animals die. Because farm crops and animals die due to lack of water, there is less food for people to eat, and what food there costs more. If a drought lasts a long time, people may also die of starvation and the land may become desert.
Frogs need water in which to lay their eggs and as a place for tadpoles to live as they develop into frogs. In a drought many creeks, rivers, wetlands, dry up and some species may not breed during the driest months.
Reptiles can dig themselves into the ground under rocks, or hide under or inside logs, and go into a sleeplike state (it is called torpor) until the ground get moist again. Then they wake up and get active once more.
In periods of drought there may be a greater risk of bushfires in forest and grasslands. The plant cover dries out and lightning strikes cause bushfires. Wildlife, farm animals and people are in danger from these fires.
