The Namib Desert is home to some of the world’s rarest and most interesting flora and fauna. A plant that resembles an alien life form and thought to be a relic of the Jurassic period can only be found here.
It consists only of two leaves and a stem base with roots. Both leaves that grow from opposite sides of the stem will continue to grow and never drops and instead gets brown by the sun and torn by the wind which will eventually look like lots of individual leaves.
more commonly known as elephant’s trunk, clubfoot, halfman or halfmens is a succulent plant that can sometimes look like a tree when fully grown. The name halfmens
is an Afrikaan word meaning semi-human which came from the fact that from a distance the plants look like people walking up a slope.
