The kalahari desert can be a tough place to live especially in the dry season. Food and water is scares and the animals have to tolerate daytime temperates in excess of 40 degrees celsius. Wildebeest often hang around the waterholes from 9:30 in the mornings forcing their way in between the other wildebeest to get a few sips of this precious liquid. During September month the animals have to endure the sweeping winds as well and with the dry conditions this creates bowls of dust.

Fox

Shot from the window of my bedroom, two floors up as the sun was coming up very early in the morning. My first view of a wild fox, and he was stunning. Was so quiet but he responded to the noise of the camera and glanced up. (Photo and caption courtesy Sam Morris/National Geographic Your Shot)

Sarajevo

Rare giraffes make comeback

In this Aug. 2, 2009 photo, a group of giraffes from Africa's most endangered giraffe subspecies walk through scrub brush near Koure, Niger. By all accounts, they should be extinct. Instead, their numbers have quadrupled to 200 since 1996, an unlikely boon experts credit to the concurrence of an impoverished government keen for revenue that has enacted laws to protected them, a conservation program that encourages people to support them, and a rare harmony with humans who have accepted their presence.

Sandstone Wave

Photographer Simon Byrne was one of the lucky few given the secret location of a stunning sandstone formation called The Wave. Simon needed a special permit before he was given "rough guidelines" to find the phenomenon in a remote area of Arizona. Located somewhere in the 112,500 acre Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness, the Wave is near the Arizona and Utah border on the slopes of the Coyote Buttes. (Simon Byrne/Rex USA)
