Wild Horses of the South Namib Desert

Namibia Wild Horses

Records indicate that the Germans shipped in about 31,000 horses and 34,000 mules through the port of Swakopmund from 1904 to 1915 following which time many horse went feral. Many years later stories began to be told around camp fires and over a beer or two in a bar about remote herds of wild horses having been seen in the deep south Namib Desert. And then came the question, "How do they survive in such harsh conditions?

Mesosaurus tenuidens

Mesosaurus Fossils

The Permian Period ( 280 - 248 million years ago) is known as being the age of the amphibians. It was a time when many of the land reptiles returned to the lakes and seas in favour of an aquatic life and the first known of reptile to do so was the Mesosaurus (meaning 'Middle Lizard' in Greek). It grew to about 70cm in length and had a long broad paddle-like tail, which along with its large webbed feet allowed it to swim and manoeuvre quickly.
