The Drummond Puddle, as it was grandly known, was a watery hazard placed perfectly where converging footpaths funnelled a daily stream of victims to their doom.

Key Points:

  • Puddles are, however, not a positive substitute for the problems caused by urbanisation and habitat loss.

Planet puddle

  • While we might be most familiar with the puddles of pavements and streets, there are natural puddle habitats too – and these are very widespread all over the planet.
  • Puddles on ice sheets and glaciers called cryoconite holes are home to a cosmopolitan fauna of nematode worms, mites and the famously tough tardigrades.
  • But in all cases, there is much more to puddles than meets the eye – not just tiny shrimps or marooned worms.
  • Video coverage of the Drummond Pond in Newcastle in 2016 even captured some two-legged inhabitants that appeared to be large, mammalian and naked …
