“ Fairy circles are enigmatic barren patches, usually found in the grasslands of the western part of southern Africa.
They are most prolific in Namibia, but are also present in Angola and South Africa. [1] These fairy circles consist of arid vegetation round, yet there is no clear picture of how they were formed, although scientists are researching the matter. One theory suggests termites as the creator of these circles, but recent studies have claimed that there is no evidence of termites could cause this phenomenon. Oral myths of Himba people these barren patches are said to have been caused by the gods, spirits, and / ornatural divinities.
Studies conducted by South African scientists shows that these circles are in continuous development. Grow in diameter, ranging from 2 to 12 meters in diameter [2] , where they mature and "die", compiled by invasive grasses.
This natural phenomenon has not yet been explained, despite 25 years of research. [Citation needed]
Bushmen in the region have traditionally attributed magical, spiritual powers of these rings in the desert. [Citation needed]
The circles are located about 100 kilometers inland, in a band 1,500 miles south of Angola. The area is one of the most remote and inhospitable parts of the planet, which could explain why so little scientific research has been done on the rings. These wheels are not moving and after 22 years have remained at the same point. In the course of these studies have come up with a possible explanation of why these fairy circles appear, the researchers found that there is a toxin can be given by poisonous plants that caused the destruction of the seed plants. But the experiments have so far failed to produce any evidence to support this hypothesis. „
