The Namib Desert stretches for over 1000 km along the coast of Namibia in southern
Africa. Very little rain falls there.
Many animals live on the sand dunes of the desert. Ants, beetles and termites eat
seeds and bits of grass that wind carries from the coast.
Antlions eat ants, spiders eat termites, and scorpions eat beetles and spiders.
Sunspiders eat scorpions and beetles. Lizards eat spiders, termites, beetles and
sunspiders. The sidewinder adder eats lizards.
