Usually the mellowest stream on the internet. Not so much when jackals and hyenas show up, but let's ignore the proto-Republicans.

🌱🏜️ Most plants die in a few years, but Welwitschia mirabilis can live for two millennia in the world's harshest #desert.
It only ever grows two leaves, which slowly shred into a "nest of noodles" over centuries while it survives by literally breathing in the morning fog.

Namib desert #beetles run to stay cool https://theconversation.com/a-namib-desert-beetle-runs-to-stay-cool-how-scientists-solved-the-puzzle-of-this-unique-and-speedy-species-269433
Beetling the heat – the diurnal #Namib Desert #beetle Onymacris plana cools by running: Carole Roberts et al. https://journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/228/16/jeb250379/368895/Beetling-the-heat-the-diurnal-Namib-Desert-beetle
"it’s the fastest of all the #invertebrates of the #NamibDesert sands. This tiny beetle can run as fast as a human can walk... the beetle in fact gets cooler when it exercises. This is the first land animal to have been found with this capability... some desert #ants may also be able to do it"

'Their resilience is a lesson to us all': The maritime #lions hunting #seals on the #beach
In #Namibia, a group of #desert lions have left their traditional hunting grounds for the #Atlantic coast, to become the world's only #maritimelions.
They have moved from the arid #NamibDesert to the #AtlanticOcean in search of food, drastically changing their diet and behaviour in #2017 to adapt to this new habitat – and appearing to thrive from the change.

#Grasses in the fog: #Plants support life in the desert
https://phys.org/news/2024-07-grasses-fog-life.htmlThe hidden oases: unveiling trophic dynamics in #Namib's fog plant ecosystem https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-024-61796-8
"the #desert #grass #Stipagrostis sabulicola in the African #NamibDesert... is able to absorb moisture from fog events and thus forms an essential basis of an—altogether unexpectedly complex—food web in the drought-stricken landscape."

Scientists inch closer to learning origins of mysterious ‘fairy circles'"He published his initial study on the topic in 2000, in which he named the phenomenon “fairy circles” because of its vague similarity of “fairy rings” of mushrooms often seen in forests. (The two are not related except in name, and neither were created by fairies.)" 🤭
