Desert (Yost Universe)

Deserts are habitats that cover 14% of the earth's land area. They all share one quality: there is a substantial lack of water. In spite of this, animals and plants have somehow or other managed to carve out an existence in these natural furnaces. Notable examples include the Sahara Desert in Northern Africa, the Thar in Pakistan and India, the Gobi in China and Mongolia, the Atacama in Chile, the Great Victoria in Australia, and the Kalahari in Southern Africa.
