Namib ... Strange Creatures of the Skeleton Coast By day lizards dance, spiders turn cartwheels and beetles stand on their heads to drink. At night, to a chorus of barking geckos, the legless lizards and golden moles go hunting.

The shifting sands are the home of one of the world's strangest communities of animals.
