Herds of up to 300 elephants can be found looking for underground streams in the dry riverbeds while migratory wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, impala, gazelle, hartebeest, and eland crowd the shrinking lagoons. Dry-country antelope such as the fringe-eared oryx and the long-necked gerenuk are also regularly spotted. Abandoned termite mounds often house mongoose colonies.
