Life in Black and White.

Dozens of plains zebras showed up to drink at Okaukuejo waterhole in Etosha National Park, Namibia. Packed closely together and moving as one, the zebras lowered their heads to get water and, almost immediately, robotically lifted them again to scan for danger. This went on for five minutes, and their stripes reminded Lucas Bustamante of a living barcode. #

Etosha National Park is unique within Africa. The main feature of the park is the salt pan, which is visible even from space. Nonetheless, there is a lush wildlife population that congregates at waterholes, so animal sightings are guaranteed. Okaukuejo is the name of a former German police and military station in Namibia located in the south of today's Etosha National Park. The place was originally called Okakwiya, "the woman who gives birth to a child every year".

Der Etosha National Park ist einzigartig innerhalb Afrikas. Das Hauptmerkmal des Parks ist die Salzpfanne, die sogar aus dem Weltall sichtbar ist. Trotzdem gibt es hier eine üppige Wildtierpopulation, die sich an Wasserlöchern versammelt, sodass Tiersichtungen garantiert sind.  Okaukuejo ist der Name einer im Süden des heutigen Etosha-Nationalparks gelegenen ehemaligen deutschen Polizei- und Militärstation in Namibia. Der Ort hieß ursprünglich Okakwiya, „die Frau, die jedes Jahr ein Kind gebärt“.
