The Suguta River is a seasonal river in the Great Rift Valley in Kenya (Africa), directly south of Lake Turkana. It flows northward through the Suguta Valley in the rainy season, forming the temporary Lake Alablad, a dry lake that combines with Lake Logipi at the northern end of the valley. The Suguta River originates in a stream of near-boiling water that emerges from the side of Mount Silali, an extinct volcano.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About the Baringo Region )〕 Some geologists speculate that the Kapedo hot spring, which drops through a set of waterfalls to the Sugutu river, is the outlet from Lake Baringo to the south.〔 At one point the Suguta River passes between two volcanoes and is fed from both sides by hot springs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Logipi Geyser )〕 In places the banks of the Suguta River are lined with palms.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=SAND DUNES OF THE SUGUTA VALLEY )〕 The river and its tributaries are home to a cichlid, the Suguta tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus sugutae). Although the river dries up after the rainy season, the fish survive in pools.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=TAXONOMY, COMMON NAMES AND DISTRIBUTION OF FISH IN THE EASTERN ARM OF THE RIFT VALLEY DRAINAGE, KENYA )〕 The river is also home to numerous crocodiles.〔 Large flocks of flamingos inhabit the edge of the river.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Big Earth )〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Suguta River」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
