The Drakensberg Mountain Range, known in the Afrikaner language as "Dragon Mountains," is Lesothos highest and most impressive mountain range. The Drakensberg Alti-Montane Grassland and Woodland ecoregion is found on the highest reaches of these steep and rocky slopes, and it is home to a highly diverse and unique assemblage of plants and animals.
