The Kalahari Desert in southern Africa is much smaller. It covers 225,000 miles. The Kalahari is covered by sand dunes and gravel plains like other deserts. However, some scientists do not consider the Kalahari a true desert because some parts of the Kalahari receive more than 10 inches of rain in a year. Animals that live in the region include brown hyenas, lions, Meerkats, several species of antelope, and many types of birds and reptiles. Vegetation in the Kalahari consists of dry grassland and scrubby acacias. Grasses thrive in the Kalahari during the summer rainy season.
