===Fauna===
[[File:Oryx Gazella Namib Desert.jpg|thumb|[[Gemsbok]]s (''[[Oryx]] gazella'') are the biggest [[antelope]]s found in the Namib desert]]

The Namib fauna mostly comprises [[arthropod]]s and other small animals that can live on little water, but a few species of bigger animals are also found, including [[antelope]]s (such as [[gemsbok]]s and [[springbok]]s), [[common ostrich]]es, and in some areas even [[desert elephant]]s or [[lion]]s. All these species have developed techniques to survive in the Namib environment. Several endemic [[darkling beetle]]s [[species]] have different methods of collecting water droplets from morning fog; they are collectively known as "fog beetles". For example, one beetle, ''[[Onymacris unguicularis]],'' has smooth [[elytron]]s that cause humidity from the morning fogs to condense into droplets, which roll down the beetle's back to its mouth. Another beetle, the ''Lepidochora discoidalis'', builds "water-capturing" webs.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Seely |first1=Mary |last2=Henschel |first2=Joh R. |last3=Hamilton III |first3=William J. |date=2005 |title=Long-term data show behavioural fog collection adaptions determine Namib Desert beetle abundance: research letter |url=https://journals.co.za/doi/abs/10.10520/EJC96313 |journal=[[South African Journal of Science]] |volume=101 |issue=11 |pages=570–572 |issn=0038-2353 |eissn=1996-7489 |via=Sabinet African Journals}}</ref> [[Black-backed jackal]]s lick humidity from stones. Gemsboks (also known as the South African oryx) can raise the temperature of their bodies to 40&nbsp;°C in the hottest hours of the day. The desert is also home to [[meerkat]]s and several species of lizards.
