Stevens Austin is a highly trained animal expert who has spent his life working with dangerous animals and knows how to keep them safe and self-contained. Prior to that, he was a photographer who traveled the world for more than a decade from his native South Africa to photograph some of the world's rarest and deadliest creatures. The film will tell the story of a rare animal he saw in his second hometown of southwestern Africa, the Namibia region, the desert elephant. The elephant exists in only two parts of the world: the Sahara Desert and the Namibian Desert, of which Namibia is one. There were still 3,500 desert elephants about a century ago, but less than 800 are still alive due to war, illegal hunting, and other reasons. In addition to the exotic desert elephants that deal with in the Namibian desert, there are poisonous cobras and unique monitor lizards.
