Climate change has made the Namib Desert an even harsher environment to survive — but these desert elephants endure. #SecretsOfTheElephants | National Geographic TV

Namibia’s desert elephants are taught by their elders how to survive in one of the harshest environments of our planet. These elephants do not push over trees as much as elephants elsewhere because they know they might have to utilize them the following season. But delectable young shoots like this are irresistible and they know exactly how to get the most of these tasty morsels. #namibia #desert #desertlife #elephants #desertelephants #desertelephantsnamibia | A Wild Connection
