The demanding conditions of the desert happen to be the natural habitat for many creatures. We got to explore these wonders on the Desert Explorer Quad bike tour via Desert Explorers Namibian adventures, and want to share with you the images of these fascinating animals as well as the nature documentary of the month.

The Dancing White Lady Spider - digs a whole deep into the sand, but leaves a "breathing tube" behind, and that's how you're able to spot it! It also has a clever way of protecting oneself: if threatened by enemies it dives off the steep slip face, curls into a ball and rolls down the dune at 44 rolls per second - faster than any of its predators can run.

Shovel-Snouted Lizard - instantly disappears into the sand
And our very favourite, the Namib Dune Gecko. The gecko has no eyelids, so they keep their large fixed eyes clean by licking them with their long tongues. Their feet act as sand shoes,
and they really come in handy as you can see ;)
