Deserts (1x3)

Over half the continent of Africa is covered by desert, and this installment gives you an in-depth look at these arid environments. From the Sahara to the Namib Deserts, the animals living here must adapt unusual survival strategies. Elephants, meerkats, giraffes, and rhinos each have evolved to live in the deserts of Africa, cohabitating with Nile crocodiles and large camel trains.
