Namibia hosts a wide range of fascinating, desert-adapted wildlife. It is also the most successful country in the world at protecting its black rhino population and has Africa’s largest population of cheetahs. The most famous of its parks is the Etosha National Park which harbours over 100 mammal species.

There are eight mammal species endemic to Namibia, including the Black faced Impala, several mice, gerbils and bats and the Namibian desert is well known for its large number of endemic dune dwellers, especially lizards, of which there are 30 endemic species.

Namibia's eclectic mix of wildlife ranges from endangered species such as Wild Dog, Black Rhino, Oribi and Puku to around 80’000 seals found at Cape Cross seal reserve. There are over twenty species of antelope in Namibia ranging from largest, the Eland, to smallest, the Damara dik-dik. The Gemsbok, a striking antelope with long symmetrical horns and distinctive black and white markings is featured on the Namibian coat of arms.
