Namib Desert

Tomorrow we are going to be looking at the Namib Desert in Africa. We are going to study the animals that live there as we continue to look at the different continents and their habitats.

One animal that our book mentions is the dancing lizards.  It states that these lizards do a special dance to keep their feet cool and they even swim through the sand! I found a video showing these dancing lizards on YouTube.  We are definitely going to watch it tomorrow! It is amazing!!

We are also going to see how beetles get water for themselves in the desert.

One last animal is the elephant and how they can survive in the desert.
