Everything about The Ennedi Plateau totally explained
The
Ennedi Plateau, located in the North-East of
Chad, in the
Bourkou-Ennedi-Tibesti Region, is a
sandstone bulkwark in the middle of the
Sahara. It is assailed by the sands on all sides, that encroach the deep valleys of the Ennedi. Only the caravans manage to cross it and this makes the region an area subject to multiple influences.
Examples of
petroglyphs or rock paintings have been found in the area, for example those at the "lost site" of
Niola Doa. The plateau also has a rich collection of
fauna, including examples of the
Nile crocodile, that once existed throughout the Sahara. A striking characteristic of this population of crocodiles is
dwarfism developed due to their isolation, which make them unusual (other such remnant populations are or were found in
Mauritania and
Algeria). They survive in only a few pools in river
canyons in the area, for example the
Guelta d'Archei, and are threatened with
extinction.

) The last
lions in the Sahara also survived here, until they became
extinct; the last lion was seen in
1940.
(External Link) Also, any surviving
Scimitar-horned Oryx antelopes that might still live in the wild are likely to be found in the remote regions of the Ennedi Plateau. It is also possible that the
cryptid Ennedi tiger may still survive there.
