	Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Eastern Gobi desert steppe (PA1314)
		Vegetation tends to be homogenous across vast areas of the Eastern Gobi Desert Steppe and distinct from the vegetation of grasslands to the east and deserts to the west.
		Desert steppe vegetation is susceptible to damage caused by trampling (livestock or off-road vehicles) and overgrazing, particularly by goats.
		This is comparable to the southwestern section of the Mongolian steppe biogeographic subunit in the Mongolian-Manchurian Desert according to Mackinnon et al.

	Desert Animal Printouts - EnchantedLearning.com
		Animals that live in the desert have adaptations to cope with the lack of water, the extreme temperatures, and the shortage of food.
		To avoid daytime heat, many desert animals are nocturnal; they burrow beneath the surface or hide in the shade during the day, emerging at night to eat.
		The driest deserts are the Atacama desert of northern Chile, South America, and the Lut Desert in eastern Iran; these extreme deserts get less than half an inch (about 1 centimeter) of precipitation each year - and it is from condensed fog, and not from rain.

	Egypt: Min, God of Fertility, Power and the Eastern Desert
		He was also a god of the Eastern Desert, and it has been suggested that the description in the Pyramid Texts - 'the one who raises his arm in the east' - is actually talking about Min.
		It was likely that Min was placed with these two deities from the east of Egypt because he was both god of the Eastern Desert and Lord of Foreign Lands.
		Despite being a god of the desert, Min was still a fertility god, and rather than being painted red (such as the desert god Set), he was painted fl to represent the fertile land along the Nile.
