A desert elephant in Damaraland, Namibia. (Three photographs in this series in the comment column)

            Damaraland was a name given to the north-central part of what later became Namibia, inhabited by the Damaras. It was bounded roughly by Ovamboland in the north, the Namib Desert in the west, the Kalahari Desert in the east, and Windhoek in the south.Damaraland is famous for its wildlife, especially the desert elephant. The desert elephants, though belonging to the same species as the other African elephants, have admirably adapted themselves to the harsh conditions of the desert around them.. They can go without water for three or four days at a stretch, and often walk 30 to 40 kms to find water. They get moisture from eating leaves and barks of the trees.  Please see the other two photographs of the elephants in the comment column just below the main picture. Thank you.
