Namib ... Strange Creatures of the Skeleton Coast
By day lizards dance, spiders turn cartwheels, beetles stand on their heads to drink. At night, to a chorus of barking geckos, legless lizards and golden moles go hunting.
Though politicians may argue about who owns South Western Africa, few men venture into the harsh yet hauntingly beautiful landscape of the Namib Desert. It is one of the bleakest spots on earth, where drifting dunes and gravel plains stretch along the notorious Skeleton Coast. The shifting sands are the home of one of the world's strangest communities of animals.
