Namibia 🇳🇦 is one of only two countries in the world that has desert elephants 🐘🌵. Despite the fact that they are not a different species 🐘, they have been listed as a high-priority species by the IUCN 🌿. To adapt to their semi-arid environment 🌵🌞 they’ve acquired a lower body mass 🐘, longer legs 🦵 and larger feet 🦶. They may now cross kilometers of sand dunes 🏜️ to reach the ocean 🌊. They've even been seen sliding down sand dunes 🏜️⛷️ to reach the ocean 🌊.
