Namib Desert, Namibia. The Namib desert forms a narrow coastal strip along a high inland plateau. The western edge is marked by either mountain chains which form distinct escarpments or by a less clearly marked escarpment. The desert consists mainly of gravel plains, unbroken sand dunes and dune stripes or barchan dunes on gravel plains.
Diceros bicornis is found, in order of preference, in Riverine growths, in Pro-Namib, in Gravel Plains and in adjoining inland plateau.
