Namibian desert elephants can traverse long distances in brutal arid environments with only seasonal rivers and scant vegetation for sustenance. For years, ecologists thought desert-dwelling elephants were a separate species of Loxodonta africana, like the forest elephant found in the Congo River Basin’s dense tropical rainforests. But the distinctive characteristics and unique social structure of desert-dwelling elephants are simply adaptations to the extreme temperatures and the rocky plains of northwest Namibia’s Kunene region.
