TKSST • seethis.tv 🌈🪐✨🌱🏜️ Most plants die in a few years, but Welwitschia mirabilis can live for two millennia in the world's harshest #desert.

Benjamin Carr, Ph.D. 👨🏻💻🧬'Their resilience is a lesson to us all': The maritime #lions hunting #seals on the #beach
In #Namibia, a group of #desert lions have left their traditional hunting grounds for the #Atlantic coast, to become the world's only #maritimelions.
They have moved from the arid #NamibDesert to the #AtlanticOcean in search of food, drastically changing their diet and behaviour in #2017 to adapt to this new habitat – and appearing to thrive from the change.
