The Ennedi Plateau

Located in the northeast of The Republic of Chad, this desertous region is rife with breathtaking landscapes, varying from canyon valleys to rocky peaks and naturally-formed arches. 

Nestled within the shelter of these ancient stones is a multitude of cave paintings and drawings featuring a variety of subjects. Interestingly enough, the Ennedi Plateau is also believed to be home to the Ennedi Tiger, which natives describe as a massive, lion-like creature with teeth like a walrus. Researchers believe these legends are evidence of the the extinct Machairodus, a genus of saber-toothed cats that once populated the African continent.
