The oryx is able to survive in the harsh desert environment by conserving water and eating drought-resistant plants, but they have also carved out a niche in the more marine environment of the Namib desert. This area, known as the Skeleton Coast, includes a stretch of coastline where the oryx have adapted to living in the fog and catching moisture from the air rather than relying solely on drinking water. This allows them to access resources that are less accessible to other animals in the region. The other animals listed are not adapted to living in a marine environment.
