A number of unusual species of animals that are highly adaptive and can live on little water are found in the Namib Desert to include oryxes, springboks, ostriches, and in some areas even desert elephants. 
 
Located in Namibia, the Namib Desert is an effortlessly beautiful landscape that shows its age with ancient scars carved into the earth. Unique shapes and patterns form over great lengths of time as the winds whip to transform, shape and move this majestic landscape. The Namib Desert stretches 1,000 miles along the Atlantic coast of Southern Africa making Namibia one of the least densely populated countries in the world, with a population of 2.1 million people.
