The wild horses of the Namib Desert, also known as the Namib Desert horses or the Garub horses, have a fascinating and somewhat mysterious origin. While there is no definitive explanation for how they came to inhabit this arid region, several theories and legends have emerged over the years:
Shipwrecked Horses**: One theory suggests that the wild horses are descendants of horses that survived shipwrecks along the Namibian coast during the colonial era. It is believed that European ships traveling along the treacherous Skeleton Coast may have been wrecked, leading to horses being stranded and left to roam the desert.
3. Military Horses: Some stories suggest that the wild horses originated from horses used by German or South African military forces during World War I. It is believed that these horses were released or abandoned after the war, eventually becoming feral and establishing herds in the desert.
