A tiny grain of sand is washed ashore on the Skeleton Coast, where Cape fur seals wade in the Atlantic waves and breed in monstrous colonies. The winds play dice with the sand's destiny, sweeping it across the land. Weird and wonderful insects and reptiles struggle to survive in the hostile land of baking sun and shifting sands. The grains, now marching sand dunes, act as a mobile home for a range of animal life, including elephants, moles and jackals. For these animals, the stakes for survival get higher with the shifting of each grain of sand.

Survival of the Sand Creatures is the stuff of science fiction, an alien land where nothing is as it seems — a world of blizzards, weird monsters and invisible forces. You can never be sure where you are or where you are going. See the Namib Desert and its creatures as you have never seen them before. This is the tale of an epic voyage of a sand dune across the Namib and the creatures that must survive in its wake.
