Tsau //Khaeb National Park

Tsau //Khaeb National Park, also known as the Sperrgebiet National Park, is a protected area in Namibia that boasts a diverse range of wildlife specially adapted to survive in its arid and desert environment. One of the park's most notable inhabitants is the desert-adapted elephant (Loxodonta africana), which has evolved to endure the harsh conditions of the region, including limited water sources and scorching temperatures. These remarkable elephants have longer legs and thinner bodies, allowing them to cover vast distances in search of food and water. Apart from the desert-adapted elephants, the park is home to other herbivores such as the graceful gemsbok or oryx (Oryx gazella), the swift and agile springbok (Antidorcas marsupialis), the unique Hartmann's mountain zebra (Equus zebra hartmanna), and the striking giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis). These animals have developed various survival strategies to cope with the arid conditions, making Tsau //Khaeb National Park an important sanctuary for these species.
