Formed by the rain shadow cast by the Himalayas, the Gobi Desert covers parts of northern and north-western China, and southern Mongolia. It’s the fifth-largest desert in the world and the largest one in Asia. The Gobi is a cold desert, and depending on the time of year you may even find frost and snow on its dunes! Wind from the Siberian Steppes makes the temperatures here vary wildly – winter sees the mercury fall as low as -40 degrees, but in summer it can reach over 50 degrees. The whole area is known the world over to archaeologists as the source of important fossils – particularly dinosaur eggs.

A coastal desert, the Namib Desert covers the countries of Namibia, Angola and South Africa, stretching for around 2000 km along the Atlantic Coast. It’s also the oldest desert in the world, estimated to have been a desert for between 55 and 80 million years! This is where you’ll find ‘The Skeleton Coast’, so-called for the numerous whale and seal bones that would wash up on the shore during the days of the whaling trade. But in modern times, the name is more relevant to the skeletal remains of shipwrecks that line the coast, caught off-guard by the dense fog that rolls in off the Atlantic at night. Featuring some of the world’s tallest sand dunes, this is a land of epic cinematic landscapes.

ELEPHANTS ARE CONSTANTLY EATING
Elephants need up to 150kg of food per day – that's around 375 tins of baked beans although half of this may leave the body undigested. They eat so much that they can spend up to three-quarters of their day eating.

An elephant’s skin is 2.5cm thick in most places. The folds and wrinkles in their skin can retain up to 10 times more water than flat skin does, which helps to cool them down. They keep their skin clean and protect themselves from sunburn by taking regular dust and mud baths.

Parrots are smart
Parrots learn well and they learn fast.
If you haven't already witnessed it, know that parrots are one of the most intelligent birds out there.
They are capable of associating words with objects and situations, and can even use tools and solve problems.
Some scientists argue that they have an IQ equivalent to that of a four-year-old.
Parrots are also quite playful.

SOME TURN INTO BALLS TO PROTECT THEMSELVES
Please don’t kick these balls! Ball pythons curl into a tight ball when they’re frightened, with their head and neck tucked away in the middle. Because they spend most of their time underground, ball pythons have poor eyesight but a great sense of smell. They can even see the heat that animals around them emit. This ability to see heat is called ‘infrared radiation’.

SNAKES CAN DANCE
Male adder snakes are territorial and have a dancing competition to decide who gets to mate. They wrestle by twisting around one another and try to press each other to the ground. In some countries, snake charmers play music to ‘charm’ snakes to dance. Read about dancing animals in The Animal Boogie book.
