		At least 187 species of migrating birds cross the Saharan Desert twice a year.
		Because this ecoregion is so scattered and isolated, endemic species of both plants and animals have evolved here.
		These endangered animals do not need to drink fresh water every day but are able to sustain themselves on the blood and urine of their prey, which they catch by sprinting at speeds of up to 64 miles (103 km) per hour.
