A subtropical realm of staggering diversity exists on the eastern coast of Africa. A mangrove forest experiences the high and low tides.

Take a look at one of Africa's most abundant and diverse wildlife areas, the Okavango Delta. Investigate the way the delta functions and learn about the variety of interesting species that live in the area.
