seems I was lucky to visit this in the desert.
I know it can be good for TrekNature,and I will do it (but another one from this lizard),and for TE,now,just for do complete more the theme,I posted here.
About the lizard in the shot,it was long almost 80-100 cm , also I post a close to its head in WS with amazing details.
let me say about wild life in the Dasht-e Kavir.
The wildlife combination at the central plateau varies according to different habitats from mountainous to desert. The only endemic bird of
Iran, The Pleske’s ground jay Podoces pleskei, lives in some parts of this plateau. Other desert birds like Houbara bustard, various Larks, Sand grouses and ... are common.
Beautiful Persian Gazelles_Goitred gazelle and Jebeer_live in parts of steppe and desert habitats of the central plateau.
The last reminiscence of the Asian Cheetah can still be seen in some places in the deserts. In the mountains, Wild sheep, Wild goats and Leopards are common. In some parts of the Dasht-e Kavir, considerable populations of The Persian Wild Ass scroll around. In the night, these areas are arena to various Wild Cats, Wolf,Fox,and other carnivores. Different places in the central plateau are home to
Lizards and Snakes.
Thanks,
Welcome:) |
