Even though Skeleton Coast is not suitable for humans, wildlife that has adapted to the extreme conditions is thriving there. For example, large colonies of Cape fur seals can be seen along the coast, basking on the rocks, while desert lions are trying to hunt some local marine life. Namibia even established the Skeleton Coast National Park in 1971, over an area of 6200 square miles.
However, park authorities only allow some private entrepreneurs to enter, who have special permission to run safaris through the dangerous and inhospitable desert coast.
